Regional and remote airports impacted by Rex’s voluntary administration can now apply for a share in $5 million of funding under the Australian Government’s Regional and Remote Airport Support Program. With many of these airports being run by local councils this program will help address the financial impact of unpaid claims.

The support program will also reduce the likelihood of airport services suffering and ensure residents and ratepayers are not impacted. This is yet another demonstration of the Australian Government’s commitment to regional aviation.
