SUNRISE, Fla., Oct. 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fuelstream, Inc. (OTCQB:FLST) ("Fuelstream" or the "Company") announced today that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois has ordered that Aviation Fuel International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is able to collect against fuel liens that it filed against certain aircraft owned and/or operated by Ryan International Airlines, Inc. notwithstanding Ryan's filing of a bankruptcy petition to expunge the liens. The liens in question amount to approximately $600,000, which the Company intends to use as working capital for its business.
Robert Catala, CEO commented: "We are pleased with the decision of the Court which has vindicated efforts by the Company to enforce legitimate liens against aircraft for which it supplied aviation fuel.
