Rex and its Saab 340s... what next?

[AuSammy]

Is what they taking on the PBS?

Rex will scrap Melbourne - Devonport and Burnie - King Island flights from June 20 due to "soaring fuel prices."

Burnie and King Island will continue to be served from Melbourne directly.

Melbourne - Mildura will also reduce from 24 to 19 weekly flights from June 22.

What's next for Rex? More route suspensions....

Rex will cut flights to Orange and Port Macquarie effective October 24.

All flights past this date have been removed from sale.

I don't know if REX is really worth saving, but any new operator could invest in the new Dornier aircraft ... https://simpleflying.com/why-35-year-old-turboprop-aircraft-back-production/\

Simply flying uses too much hyperbole.

German craftsmanship?
What's that?

If German "craftsmanship" and "engineering excellence" (the so called Vorsprung Durch Technik) of their cars are anything to go by, they will be expensive and difficult to build, maintain and repair. It was partly this that led to their failure in WW2. I don't know why this myth is perpetuated by journalists.

I hope they succeed. The 30 seaters are an important in the airline industry. .
But let's leave out the hyperbole.

The SAABs are so vibraty and rattly that I vowed never to get on one again. Last one I flew, two years ago, was over 30 years old. No thanks
Mind you QantasLink aren't far behind - 20yrs + old
And all because that clown tried to take on the capital city routes.
