Aero-News Quote of the Day
"It is completely untrue that federal regulations lack flexibility with regards to security screening for smaller aircraft. Rex has highlighted, in four official submissions, to Dubbo City Council that the Air Transport Safety Regulations (ATSR) do authorise simultaneous unscreened and screened flight departures from regional airports under an approved Transport Security Program with the Office of Transport Security. Federal regulations do not require Rex's passengers to be security screened at regional airports due to the smaller size of its aircraft."
Source: From a news release sent out by Australian regional airline Regional Express (Rex) in which it said that it has serious concerns over the reported "lies and misinformation" provided by the Dubbo City Council to Deputy Premier of New South Wales (NSW) Andrew Stoner with regards to security screening at Dubbo airport. Dubbo is in New South Wales northwest of Sydney, Australia.
