Rex Airlines to Suspend Regional Flights to Orange and Port Macquarie
Published
Rex Airlines has announced that it will stop operating flights to two regional New South Wales cities later this year. From October 25, the airline will suspend its services to both Orange and Port Macquarie.
This decision comes only ten months after the airline received a $60 million rescue package from the government. The financial support was intended to help the airline maintain its operations and support regional connectivity across Australia.
Management at Rex Airlines stated that the decision is a result of rising operational expenses. The company explained that it will continue to monitor fuel costs closely to determine if these routes can be reinstated in the future.
For passengers in these regions, the suspension means fewer travel options for reaching major hubs. Local communities and business leaders are now waiting for further updates on how this change will affect regional transport links in the coming months.
