Australia's Rex to continue Queensland flights after last-minute intervention

Australia's Regional Express (Rex) airlines will keep flying after a last-minute intervention from the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads. The struggling airline back-flipped on a decision to suspend services indefinitely Tuesday, after the coronavirus pandemic crippled business demand. The company said it would introduce a reduced schedule from tomorrow on all five TMR regulated routes. "A final agreement has not yet been reached with TMR on the reduced schedule, however Rex will run the reduced schedule in good faith until April 8, 2020," a statement read. The Gulf Route has been temporarily reduced from five to three return services per week. The Northern 1 and 2, Western 1 and 2 routes have all been cut to one service per week. The Torres Cape Indigenous Council Alliance said it's pleased the Queensland Government has stepped in to help. <br/>
