Rex has dismissed Whyalla City Council’s claim that it could not afford to modify its airport terminal as a “deceitful and deceptive” assertion.
Partnering with flight training provider Inbound Aviation, the Newcastle-based airline – which operates a fleet of 19-seat British Aerospace Jetstream 32 turboprop aircraft servicing regional routes around NSW and the ACT – will take on its first cadets in late August.
The Vietnamese low-cost carrier will introduce daily flights from Sydney and Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh City, and up its frequency from two to three return flights from Brisbane per week using its A330 fleet.
The low-cost carrier confirmed in a statement that it has stopped selling direct flights between Darwin and Denpasar – which operate five times per week – from 9 October to 8 November, as Defence, which owns Darwin Airport, may have plans to upgrade the runway during this time.
Starting in December, the low-cost carrier will fly non-stop between Melbourne and Fiji three times per week, carrying an estimated 72,000 passengers per year. Its existing Sydney service will also be changed to three times per week from December, using the neo from October.
The carrier confirmed that the two routes are being shut down for five months following a performance review, which considered demand and forward bookings among other factors. This will allow Virgin to reallocate the aircraft and resources from these routes to services in higher demand.
