Australian airline Rex accused of stealing planes from US aircraft graveyard: lawsuit


The lawsuit, filed by American leasing company Jet Midwest, adds a twist to the regional carrier’s tortured demise. Rex entered administration in July.

The airline, known as Rex, called in administrators on July 30 amid an all-out war between its board, led by former Howard government minister John Sharp, and its biggest shareholder, businessman Lim Kim Hai.
