Just days after ordering a halt to its operations, Canada Jetlines (CBOE: CJET) has announced that it has made a filing under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act in Canada.
The formal filing, referred to as a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal, saw the appointment of BDO Canada as a proposal trustee, whom is expected to assist in the restructuring of the company. In connection with the filing, a stay of proceedings has been imposed on the company, which protects it from claims and enforcement proceedings by creditors.
The initial stay period is for 30 days.
