Who decides VIM-Avia’s future?

«Generally, any person addressing a court may at any time drop its claim if the court has not accepted it yet for hearing. As a rule, a claim is accepted for consideration within 5 business days. In this case, the court would return the claim which does not prevent the claimant to re-file a similar claim.

Probably, no political determination as to the fate of VIM-Avia has been made yet. The issue of the carrier’s bankruptcy is purely a matter of time, and the company is unlikely to be rescued”, Frolov believes.
