And then there’s the quiet collapse. SmartLynx Airlines, a major player in the ACMI industry, filed for bankruptcy. No fanfare. No press release. Just a $277 million hole and a fleet grounded. It wasn’t just about one airline. It was about how fragile the global air travel support system has become. When big players like Avia Solutions Group start breaking, everyone feels it.
