On REX..
:
Crazy. They take care of each other. Wolf packs!
Unfortunately Ziggy it seems that is the way of the world the spin offs are huge...
Here is a classic recent example of how it works..
Less than a week ago we get this article -
Aviation shake-up to 'reverse toxic relationship' - where basically Nifty Howell bangs the table and tells the Miniscule & CAsA to get on with implementing the Forsyth report.
Then today we get this announcement:
REX - Regional Express (ZL,
Wagga Wagga) says it has secured an Area Air Operator’s Certificate (AAOC) from the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) which will allow it to expand its vast Regular Passenger Transport (RPT) network without the need for CASA to approve each new destination.
“The AAOC authorises Rex to conduct an internal approval process for RPT services to the 16 new Queensland ports on the regulated routes that have recently been awarded to REX by the Queensland State Government," REX Chief Operating Officer Neville Howell said.
Following a tendering process, REX was awarded three additional regulated regional air routes from the Queensland government in October. The AAOC will now allow the carrier to open up flights connecting
Cairns,
Normanton,
Mornington,
Burketown,
Doomadgee,
Mount Isa,
Brisbane Int'l,
Brisbane West Wellcamp,
Saint George, QL,
Cunnamulla,
Thargomindah,
Charleville,
Quilpie,
Windorah,
Birdsville,
Bedourie,
Boulia,
Townsville,
Winton,
Longreach,
Hughenden,
Richmond, QL, and
Julia Creek.
"We are very proud that we are now in a position to start operations on January 1, 2015, a mere 8 weeks after being awarded the contract,” Howell added.
