Overview
- Provisional liquidators Paul Dounis and Mark Harper of Opus Restructuring were appointed by Edinburgh Sheriff Court in late January.
- Opus said the start-up had no material assets, with members funding the liquidation so employees receive their statutory entitlements.
- The airline never launched commercial services and all planned flights have been cancelled.
- Founded in 2023 in Edinburgh by Dale Vince and pilot Brent Smith, EcoJet had planned to start with an Edinburgh–Southampton route before expanding into Europe.
- The venture promoted hydrogen‑electric retrofits to cut CO2 emissions to zero, a company claim, with Vince citing technology and regulatory delays for the stalled launch.
