Australian Aviation breaks down exactly what Saturday's announcement means for staff, and how it has been received by airlines and ground handling businesses.
The new $298 million regional aviation bailout announced by the federal government on Saturday “ignores” the ground handling industry, according to Cabin Services Australia, dnata, Menzies Aviation and Swissport.
Regional Express (Rex) and the Airlines for Australia and New Zealand industry group have both welcomed Saturday's $298 million government bailout for the regional airline industry.
The COVID-19 travel bans have given the aviation industry the chance to reflect on their vulnerability in the face of an unseen enemy. The battle between big profits and human wellbeing is on, writes retired Cathay Pacific first officer Garry C. Mitchell.
Passengers landing in Australia will now be transferred from arrivals to a hotel to complete their 14-day isolation period – with the Defence Force checking people comply with the measures.
Rex has said it may not be able to transport COVID-19 testing samples from regional areas to capital cities for analysis unless it receives a government bailout.
