Van’s Aircraft is facing serious cash-flow issues resultant of a confluence of unfavorable events and circumstances... 

Van’s will take some time, spanning 27 October through mid-November 2023, to evaluate means by which to most comprehensively and efficiently satisfy builder concerns regarding laser-cut parts. Also, the company will review the costs of its parts and kits. During the aforementioned period, shipments of Van’s parts will be delayed, kit orders will not be processed, and refunds will not be issued. The Rotor X situation is getting stranger by the day. After a late september Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing, the company’s petition has been refused because Company Owner Don Shaw has failed to provide the proper records to the Trustee. Bankruptcy Judge Paul Sala dismissed the case due to “The debtor(s) having failed to file a list of creditors in the proper format as required by Local Bankruptcy Rule 1007-1.” Boeing and Southwest Airlines have entered into an agreement by which it will acquire 108 new 737 MAX-7 narrow-body jets. Southwest’s selection of the aircraft is consistent with the airline’s modernization strategy and affords the carrier flexibility by which to expand its fleet and route structure.
