Government Clears Rex Airlines Debt

from Melbourne News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The Aussie government just dumped $4.8 million to wipe out Rex Airlines’ debt to 34 regional councils, with Dubbo getting nearly $600K — a huge win for ratepayers. This is part of a bigger rescue: $108M in debt restructured and a $60M loan to Air T, the US firm that bought Rex, all to keep regional flights alive. Rex serves 21 remote airports — and losing service would cut off vital links for towns like Ceduna. The government’s move underscores its commitment to keeping air travel alive in Australia’s outback. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
