Aviation news international – Rex – Regional Express<\/a>\u00a0(ZL,\u00a0Wagga Wagga<\/a>) will enter into a joint venture with Helicopter Resources Pty Ltd (Heli Resources) involving up to four twin-engine helicopters as Rex readies to tender to supply fixed and rotary wing capacity to the Australian government’s Antarctic Division (AAD).<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, Rex will serve as the prime contractor and Heli Resources as the sub-contractor. Based at\u00a0Hobart Cambridge<\/a>\u00a0aerodrome, Heli Resources has operated in Antarctica since 1975, supporting various nations’ Antarctic programs, including for the AAD. The operator says it has accrued over 35,000 flying hours in Antarctica. “Our extensive knowledge and experience ensure we have all the required equipment to support long-duration Antarctic missions,” its website reads. “We specialize in all aspects of Antarctic aviation, including ship-based science and resupply voyages and station or remote field camp logistics and scientific support.”<\/p>\n

The operator flies nine helicopters, including four\u00a0Airbus<\/a>\u00a0H125s, two Airbus AS350B2s, two Kawasaki BK117s, and one 212\u00a0Bell Helicopter<\/a>. \u201cThere is no other helicopter operator with as much experience operating in the Antarctic,” said Rex\u2019s Antarctic Project Manager, Craig Martin. “The Rex Group cannot have hoped for a better partner for the complementary helicopter capability elements anticipated in the tender.”<\/p>\n

Rex is chasing an upcoming\u00a0multi-million dollar tender<\/a>\u00a0to support the AAD. Presently, the Australian government agency primarily relies on the\u00a0Royal Australian Air Force<\/a>\u00a0(ASY,\u00a0Richmond, QL<\/a>) and commercial operator\u00a0Skytraders<\/a>\u00a0(SND,\u00a0Sydney Kingsford Smith<\/a>) for fixed wing capacity. Rex’s bold bid is a step outside its normal field of operations – regular passenger transport, cargo, and aeromedical flights. However, it continues a recent trend of diversifying operations and revenue streams. In 2021, Rex\u00a0commenced jet operations<\/a>\u00a0using\u00a0B737-800<\/a>s and recently ferried in its eighth jet ahead of starting flights to\u00a0Hobart International<\/a>. Last year, the Rex Group\u00a0acquired<\/a>\u00a0National Jet Express<\/a>\u00a0(JTE,\u00a0Adelaide International<\/a>) and, with it, a stake in Australia’s lucrative fly-in-fly-out closed charter market. Last month, while taking up Rex’s prospects and citing the group’s long-running experience in special missions (primarily aeromedical and Department of Defence), Martin called the potential AAD work “ambitious and challenging.”<\/p>\n
