SKYTRANS, the Cairns-based carrier backed by NRL star Johnathan Thurston, has lodged a tender to operate government-funded regulated routes in Qld.
Five routes are up for grabs, with Skytrans challenging incumbent Rex Airlines for the rights in a battle which has erupted into a public confrontation.
Rex Deputy Chairman John Sharp has sent an open letter to Qld communities, accusing local MP Robbie Katter of defamation over comments about the Rex fleet, on-time performance and lack of support for local causes.
