Over 600 jobs at risk after Rex grounds flights

Over 600 jobs at troubled airline Regional Express are at risk, the administrator told workers on Wednesday after the company’s shares were suspended and flights grounded between capital cities.

Workers were told the business that services 737 flights in capital cities will cease to operate, and 360 jobs go. Another 250 jobs are at risk on regional routes. Both Qantas and Virgin have committed to pick up as many jobs as possible.
