Rex to axe more jobs after going into voluntary administration

Administrators for regional airline Rex will cut an additional 73 jobs, including aircraft support officers, team leaders, customer services officers, ground school trainees, pilot trainees, and call centre operators.

The news comes after consulting firm EY was appointed in July after the airline fell into voluntary administration. EY confirmed the latest round of job losses in an email sent to employees on Monday afternoon.

“At this stage, subject to the outcome of a consultation process, it is proposed that 73 of 261 current positions will become redundant,” the email read.
