In its first detailed response to the allegations, the Flying Kangaroo said it was “impossible” for any airline to guarantee a service will operate at its scheduled time.
Rex said the new daily service would add 124,000 seats between the two cities and comes weeks after it signed a lease for a tenth 737-800 to expand its capital city network.
The long-rumoured new 787 route will operate four times per week during the peak European season before reducing to three times weekly from mid-August onwards.
The Flying Kangaroo said the new action amounts to an “unreasonable escalation of the dispute” and has previously argued its pay offer would include an immediate 25 per cent pay increase.
Skytrans CEO Alan Milne said smaller airlines must accept employees will move to bigger rivals, adding that it represents a good outcome for everyone.
Skytrans, which has operated three flights per week to Bamaga since September 2021, will increase its frequency to nine per week as of October 30 with an eye to further increases from April. It follows Rex’s decision to drop the route, accusing Qantas of “relentless pillaging” of its pilots.
