Statement from Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) CEO Dean Long on Rex entering administration:

“Rex Airlines has been a lifeline for much of regional and rural Australia, ensuring these communities stay connected to the rest of the country. Rex’s entry into administration is a significant blow not just for these areas but also for the competitive landscape of Australian aviation. We remain hopeful that Rex is able to navigate this challenging period and emerge to trade again. In the meantime, your travel professional is doing everything they can to work through your options.”

Statement from The Ascott Limited Australasia Managing Director David Mansfield on Rex entering administration:

“The Visitor economy in regional Australia is already doing it tough, and this is another blow. Rex is a lifeline for travel in and out of the communities we operate in and often provides the only air option.”
 
Dean and David are available for interviews

RECORD SET STRAIGHT: AVIATION EXPERT DID NOT ADVISE AUSTRALIANS TO CANCEL EUROPE TRIPS

1600 Thursday 5 March 2026:The Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) and aviation safety expert Professor Ron Bartsch are jointly correcting media reports today that wrongly characterised his comments as a recommendation for Australians to cancel travel bookings to Europe for the next six months.
