Australian regional airline Rex, in voluntary administration, faces potential job losses of 610 amid concerns about employees' entitlement coverage.

Australian regional airline Rex, which entered voluntary administration on July 30, is facing potential job losses of 250 in its regional arm and 360 in capital cities. Experts warn that employees may not receive their full legal entitlements due to the company's financial position. The Fair Entitlements Guarantee (FEG) scheme, a safety net for workers, may not cover all costs such as superannuation and bonus payments. United Services Union general secretary Graeme Kelly criticized Rex's management for not involving the union in discussions earlier and urged the Albanese government to intervene to protect workers' entitlements.
