I believe Sky europe have already ceased ops,I cant see any of the others going under Especially the major airlines(united,Virgin)
or any of the national flag carriers with the exception of Alitalia.LOT is 69% state owned and Aeroflot belongs to 1 of the richest countries in the world.
If i was to put money on 1 of these collapsing I'd have a punt on Spanair or Clickair.
Odds continued on Paddy Power if you want to put some money on it
AirSpace - more than just hot air
It looks like Spanish Leisure carrier LTE International Airways is in a bit of bother after temporarilty suspending its charter citing financial difficulties.
