Rex bucks trend with profit rise to $25.5m, warns of hard times ahead.
REGIONAL Express has celebrated its 10th birthday with a 45 per cent increase in annual net profit to $25.5 million, but warned of hard times ahead.
Rex’s net result eclipsed those of Qantas and Virgin Australia as the group benefited from a Victorian air ambulance contract held by subsidiary Pel-Air and the performance of Dubbo-based fly-in, fly-out operator unit AirLink.

Want a strong share price and the missing magic ingredient, a dividend, in your Australian airline stocks? REX or Regional Express, is the answer.
The statement reminds us that REX made more money ($35.1 million PBT) than Virgin Australia ($27.2 million PBT) flying incredibly small turbo-props around the country, to tiny towns where driving to a big city is variously, an expedition, or stupid.
Qantas might also claim that its fantastically profitable but undisclosed exact earnings in its domestic jets also exceeded those of REX hedge hoppers.
But it won’t because those figures are ‘commercial in confidence’, and when the flying kangaroo operation as a group blew $245 million in losses while the cattle dog brand rounded up $35 million, such provocation would be beneath its dignity.

I know the RPT runs have been given the flick but are they really that big in charter as to contribute a significant chunk of Rex's profit?
Also of interest is the roll out of Ipads in all 51 of the saabs starting in September this year.

It's mentioned in the annual report:
Regional Express will be installing iPads in all 51 of its Saab 340 fleet in a move designed to improve communication and data access flow while bringing other operational efficiencies to the pilots. The iPads with 3G connectivity will store the full suite of Company Manuals and have the capability to generate performance data for take-off and landing. In addition, the iPads will provide automatic transfer of all engine trend data analysis to engineering. The iPad installation program is planned to commence in September 2012
