Syulang#Rex airlines regional fleet, staff and operating licence needs to be brought out by the federal government immediately. Regional towns and remote settlements are dependent on the air links to major centres for healthcare, education, cultural and kinship links - and often just basic supplies and access for key workers to their patients, service users and partners in remote areas.
This shouldn't be necessary. Ideally our remote communities would be have more internal capacity to be basically self-sufficient, with networks between them for mutual support, and not be reliant on the sporadic drip-feed of "good will" and "benevolence" from Sydney, Brisbane or wherever, and air links would be "good to have" but not a matter of basic survival. Yet, here we are - so while we're here, let's not fuck it up.
