Juneyao Air to give Melbourne another Shanghai link

Virgin announced this week it would drop the underperforming Cairns–Haneda service from 24 February and reassign its 737 MAX 8s to domestic flights.

The YouGov poll for the Transport Workers’ Union (TWU), which surveyed a representative sample of 1,044 Australians, found that 71 per cent approved of the federal government stepping in to support Rex in maintaining its regional network.

The new deal, backed by 75 per cent of respondents, will see base salary increases of more than 21 per cent over three years as well as improvements to flexible working.
