Official opening of REX

The Australian Airline Pilot Academy (AAPA), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Regional Express (Rex), officialy opened its brand new Wagga Wagga based campus. After commencing operations in Mangalore, Victoria, Rex announced in April 2009 its intention to construct a pilot training academy at Wagga Wagga airport in New South Wales to take advantage of the excellent airport facilities, good flying conditions and close proximity to its heavy maintenance base. Work commenced on the $12 million state-of-the-art campus in July 2009 and was completed in May 2010.
