Rex Airlines skips scheduled stop mid-flight, leaving passengers stranded

Those onboard a delayed Rex Airlines flight intending to travel from Perth to Monkey Mia were told mid-flight the plane wouldn't be stopping and they would need to find their own way to their destination.

REx had a regular stop at Monkey Mia from Perth to Carnarvon but decided not to do so today with no explanation. Stranded 9 passengers (which would be a fair % of pax on board) and told them to find their own way from Carnarvon. One family even gave a lift for a couple of the stranded folk.

Shall we spin the wheel of who Rex will blame for this?

This is so poor, especially at a time when there have been calls for increased consumer protection in aviation.

It was only drawn to my attention today, from a friend in the West, so I may pop it into the delays/cancellations thread.

At least with rail operators in Oz you'd get a replacement road coach.

Shocking that ZL didn't even arrange one. Having to drive 350 kilometres (and back) is time consuming, and expensive.
