Speaking to ABC Radio in Adelaide, Angus Mitchell confirmed that the ATSB is investigating an exhaust fire on Wednesday and a mid-air engine shut down on Saturday, both on Rex flights to Broken Hill, but said they did not necessarily indicate a wider problem with the airline’s fleet.
The facility, announced last year, is operated by Wagner Sustainable Fuels in partnership with Boeing and FlyORO, and is the first SAF blending terminal in the world to be co-located with an airport. It will allow “neat” SAF to be mixed with conventional jet fuel, reducing emissions.
According to Virgin, the changes “deliver clearer guidelines with simplified baggage allowances and will help improve overhead space availability to reduce delays, enhance safety, and create a smoother travel experience for guests”.
A flight from Sydney landed in Broken Hill with one functioning engine on Saturday, days after an exhaust fire in Adelaide forced the evacuation of another Rex flight to Broken Hill, making it the second engine malfunction on a Rex aircraft in less than a week.
The milestone, using multiple drones to ferry loads up to 100kg, is envisioned to enable drones to complete missions previously limited to helicopters or large bespoke airframes.
Hours after hacking group Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters, which was responsible for breaching the data of more than 5 million Qantas customers, posted its stolen trove to the internet, the Flying Kangaroo responded to the hackers’ actions.
