Ecojet Airlines has reportedly entered liquidation in early 2026, with UK court filings confirming the start-up was wound up before it ever operated a commercial flight. Several outlets cite that provisional or court-ordered liquidators were appointed after concerns over paid-up capital, funding, and regulatory clearances, effectively ending the zero-emission airline project before it took off. If you’d like, I can pull the latest public filings or summarize the key dates and filings from multiple sources.
Notes:
- The situation has been covered by aviation and business press in early 2026, with references to Companies House/Scottish court actions and the involvement of interim liquidators.
- Details vary by source, but the consensus is that Ecojet did not achieve operational status and is in liquidation.
