At Tuesday night's meeting, the council resolved to lower the fees for Regional Express Airlines (Rex) until June 30 by 70 per cent, noting the carrier was "supporting essential air travel services".

The Central Western Daily understands this has slashed the charge from $18.50 a passenger to about $7.

In a separate item, the councillors noted the financial hardship Fly Corporate was experiencing on its Brisbane and Melbourne routes.

As a result, councillors authorised chief executive officer David Waddell to negotiate incentives to re-commence services from Orange once restrictions lifted.

Rex is still operating out of Orange Regional Airport, but flights have been reduced to one return flight on Mondays and a one-seat gap is being used between passengers.

Due to Easter, the plane will arrive at 8.40am from Sydney on Tuesday instead before leaving again at 9.10am.

Infrastructure committee chairman and councillor Tony Mileto said the cost to the council would not be significant.

"When you decrease the amount of flights due to coronavirus, the impact to the council is quite minimal," he said.

"We hope it helps Rex to remain viable in the immediate future - they've provided a valuable service for a long period of time."

Mayor Reg Kidd said it was important to keep the service running for the public service and health workers who needed to travel.

Meanwhile, Fly Corporate has suspended all flights.

In March, Fly Corporate chief executive officer Andrew Major said the carrier was targeting a resumption of services in the second half of the year, once travel demand normalised.

"But this will be governed by the extent of impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery from that impact," he said.

Cr Mileto wanted to ensure competition remained in the market long-term.

"There's no point in one airline monopolising the airwaves in a regional centre," he said.

Cr Kidd believed the measures would also include a head tax discount and Qantas remained keen to introduce a service when conditions improved.

"That's all very positive," he said.
