corporate bankruptcy

Company declares insolvency

Corporate bankruptcy is a legal process through which a company unable to pay its debts seeks protection from creditors or liquidates its assets.

In the U.S., Chapter 11 allows businesses to reorganize and continue operating while restructuring debt; Chapter 7 means shutting down and selling off assets to pay creditors.

The airline emerged from corporate bankruptcy after renegotiating union contracts.
