Rex Airlines to go electric
Rex Airlines have announced that in 2024 they plan to pioneer the age of electric aircraft, with Wagga Wagga set to host the trials.
The trial will begin with the King Air twin turboprop aircraft, and if all goes well, Rex could have some of its Saab 340 fleet outfitted with electric motors in less than ten years’ time.
John Stanley speaks to John Sharp, Deputy Chairman and Independent Director of Rex Airlines, about how these trials will work and what benefits these aircraft will offer the aviation industry.
