Default Air Australia could be in trouble?

"FLEDGLING carrier Air Australia yesterday hit out at rumours that ANZ Bank is considering winding up the company amid worries from some creditors about outstanding payments." From the Australian. Could Air Australia really be in trouble?

At least, the QF group are helping out stranded passengers... (as with HA)

QANTAS and Jetstar have stepped in to help hundreds of Australian travellers stranded overseas after budget airline Air Australia was placed into administration.
More than 4000 domestic and international travellers will be affected, included Australians stuck in Phuket, Thailand.

A press release given to passengers at the airport said the airline’s fleet would be grounded indefinitely and told travellers to make alternate travel arrangements.
