High Court appoints provisional liquidators to Fly4 Airlines Green

The High Court has appointed Brendan O’Reilly and Mark Degnan of Interpath Advisory as joint provisional liquidators of Fly4 Airlines Green Limited, by order made on 11 November 2026. The appointment, together with the winding-up petition presented to the court the same day, is published in Iris Oifigiúil No. 91 of 13 November 2026 under High Court Record No. H.COS.2026.363. The petition is directed to be heard at 10:30 a.m. on 30 November 2026.

Iris Oifigiúil, the official State gazette published by Authority, is the channel through which High Court insolvency notices are made public, and the entry carries the statutory notices required so that creditors and contributories know the state of the proceedings and the dates that bind them. The company is identified in the notice by its registered office at 1st Floor, Building Two, The Green, Dublin Airport Central, Swords, K67E2H3, County Dublin, and the matter is brought under the Companies Act 2014.

The petition was presented by the company itself and is expressed to be for the winding up of Fly4 Airlines Green Limited by the High Court in main proceedings, in accordance with Article 3(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No. 848/2015, the framing used for the principal insolvency proceedings of a debtor within the European Union. The notice is dated 12 November 2026 and is issued by Byrne Wallace Shields LLP, 88 Harcourt Street, Dublin 2, D02 DK18, solicitors for the petitioner (Ref: CD/KH).

Joint provisional liquidators appointed

The order of 11 November 2026 places the company under the control of two practitioners from the same firm, pending the hearing of the petition:

• Joint provisional liquidators: Brendan O’Reilly and Mark Degnan.
• Firm: Interpath Advisory, Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin.
• Court record: High Court Record No. H.COS.2026.363.
• Company: Fly4 Airlines Green Limited, Dublin Airport Central, Swords, County Dublin.
• Statutory basis: Companies Act 2014.

Provisional liquidation is an interim regime: the appointees take charge of the company’s affairs and property until the court decides whether to make a winding-up order. The gazette notice records the appointment and the petition but sets out no statement of the company’s assets, liabilities or schedule of creditors.

Hearing fixed for 30 November

The petition will come before the High Court at 10:30 a.m. on 30 November 2026. Any creditor or contributory of the company who wishes to support or oppose the making of an order on the petition may appear at the hearing in person or by counsel for that purpose, and a copy of the petition will be furnished to any creditor or contributory who requires it by the petitioner’s solicitors, on payment of the regulated charge.

Deadline for notice of intention to appear

Under Order 74, Rule 15 of the Rules of the Superior Courts, a party who intends to appear must give written notice to the petitioner’s solicitors in advance of the hearing. The notice must state whether that person intends to support or oppose the petition, must be signed, and must contain an address for service, either of the party or of their solicitors. The requirements are:

• Addressee: Byrne Wallace Shields LLP, 88 Harcourt Street, Dublin 2, D02 DK18 (Ref: CD/KH).
• Form: written notice, signed, indicating support for or opposition to the petition, with an address.
• Deadline: not later than 5:00 p.m. on 27 November 2026.

The practical effect of the timetable is that creditors and contributories have just over two weeks from publication to decide whether to take part, and three working days before the hearing to put their position on record.

The case is a significant entry in the Irish aviation insolvency list, because it concerns an entity registered at Dublin Airport Central and because the court has moved straight to a provisional appointment rather than leaving the company in the hands of its directors pending the hearing. For trade creditors, lessors and other counterparties, the appointment fixes a date on which control of the company passed to the joint provisional liquidators and a date on which the future of the company will be argued in open court. Any party with an interest has until 5:00 p.m. on 27 November 2026 to notify Byrne Wallace Shields LLP, and until 10:30 a.m. on 30 November 2026 to be heard.
