It is also temporarily suspending flights between Sydney and Armidale and withdrawing its far north Queensland route between Cairns and Bamaga.
“The airline is forced to make further reductions to its regional network as the major carriers,particularly the Qantas Group,continued their relentless pillaging of Rex’s pilot group,” a company statement said.
Qantas has been contacted for comment.
In April,Rex reduced or changed flight times for nine services across four states,including routes between Sydney and Broken Hill,Melbourne and Wagga Wagga,and Adelaide and Port Lincoln.
If the workforce situation improves,the reduced services will return to normal operation by the end of March next year.
Rex’s April announcement made no mention of its competitors,instead saying there was a chronic shortage of staff and supply chain disruptions.
