CLARIFICATION: THE front page story of our Friday, December 8, 2017, edition states Regional Express has threatened to cut 24,000 seats per annum from Mount Gambier services, scaling back flights to Melbourne and Adelaide by 15pc. However, this is incorrect and results from a misunderstanding of a statement sent to The Border Watch by the airline. The threat was made in 2010, but referred to in the statement issued this month. The Border Watch apologises to Rex and our readers for the confusion. The full statement is accessible by clicking on the link below.
