REGIONAL Express (Rex) will reinstate flights between Melbourne Tullamarine and King Island, under a peace deal reached with the local council.
The stand-off had previously seen Rex cut services over increased landing charges (TD 19 Jul, 09 Jul) amid accusations of “lies and deception”.
The council has agreed to hold off on price rises until 01 Apr to facilitate the negotiation of a new long-term partnership supported by the Tasmanian Government, with the agreement following facilitation by Tourism Tasmania CEO John Fitzgerald.
