It’s been a heavy week in aviation news, but we’ve lightened the load for you here by compiling yet another comprehensive wrap.

ACCC tsar Rod Sims has been instructed by the government to keep his eyes peeled for any dodgy moves by Australia’s airlines.

The new funding has arrived just in the nick of time for Rex, which had prepared to ground its entire network and stand down 90 per cent of its workforce.

Through thick and thin, we’re committed to bringing you the news you need. But we suggest swapping a salad for three courses to match the time it will take to devour this Aviation Wrap.

The announcement comes as Rex revealed it had “only weeks of reserves left” and that without government intervention, irreversible damage would occur across the industry.
