“Flight Club” a report by Emily Baker on Monday’s Four Corners examines the failure of Rex Airlines.
In aviation, there’s a saying: When things go wrong, they go wrong fast.
The same is true for Rex Airlines.
After nearly two decades of steady service, the regional carrier’s board imploded in June.
The next month, Rex entered voluntary administration, its intercity service collapsed, and hundreds of jobs were lost.
Many blame Rex’s bold move to challenge Qantas and Virgin in Australia’s brutal domestic market.
This week on Four Corners, journalist Emily Baker exclusively interviews Rex’s former leaders, to uncover what went wrong and why Australia can’t seem to sustain a third airline.
Monday 30 September at 8.30pm on ABC.
