Labor prepared to ‘play a constructive role’ amid ‘concerning developments’ regarding Rex Airlines

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has addressed the “concerning developments” regarding regional airline operator Rex. Rex Airlines has entered voluntary administration and cancelled all capital city flights, but regional services are continuing to operate. “Obviously, these are really concerning developments for Rex, for its workers and for its customers,” Mr Chalmers told Sky News Australia. “We are prepared to play a constructive role, but I don’t want to preempt the nature of that response – let’s hear from the company in the next instance.”
