IAG owned LEVEL Airlines LV has filed for immediate insolvency and ceased trading with immediate effect.

The Austria based airline started operations in 2019 with a fleet of narrowbody jets. 2xA320-200, 4xA321-200, 7xA330-200
 
Not folding, but Qatar has advised Boeing and Airbus it will not be taking delivery of any of the 200 planes it currently has on order for at least 2-3 years from now.
 
Half of the fleet is widebody (A330-200)?

They started with a narrow bodied fleet..... and expanded to the current fleet. I was lazy and just put the first line of the article and added the current fleet details

After LATAM Argentina grounded a few days ago, now LATAM Brazil, ceased all domestic flights. Some international still operating
 
Not folding, but downsizing in a series of tranches. The second tranche announced a few days back. Some pundits have said up to 30,000 will be retrenched in all.

 
 
I think a lot of the subsidiary airlines in Asia will be under threat. Almost every airline will need new capital and in many cases the local 'partner' may not have it, or if the parent has received government funding they may not be able to send it overseas.

Different circumstances but already appears that Qantas has exited Jetstar Pacific (Vietnam)

Jetstar Pacific has been on the cards to be sold back for ages
 
The same goes for VS. With the way they act, I had thought they were at least half the size of BA only to find that VS had 35 aircraft and 30 destinations compared to 278/183 for BA.
Virgin Australia Holdings has 132 aircraft across mainline, regional and TT, while Qantas Group have 292 across mainline, link and JQ (+53 more at the other Jetstar franchises).

Always the same with those virgin franchises. Big foul mouth, not much substance. Same here as over in Europe.
 
To be fair, Virgin Atlantic was pioneering in its day! It was very edgy and a bit of a ‘glamorous’ way to cross the Atlantic. Chauffeured cars were standard, or you could even get a chauffeur motorbike. The clubhouse was world leading when it opened, and still holds up pretty well these days.

Virgin trains on the other hand... :(
