Regional Express administrator EY is expected to work with investment bank Houlihan Lokey to run a sale process for the embattled airline, Street Talk can reveal.

It comes after Rex’s private equity backer, PAG Asia Capital, funded new money to the administrator on Wednesday to allow the regional flights division of Rex to go into administration, according to sources with direct knowledge of the situation.
