Madness!

Australian aviation’s new capacity wars appear to be back on after Rex said it would aim to significantly expand its 737 fleet from six to 14 to support its growing domestic operations.

The news comes as new rival Bonza announced this morning it was to expand its fleet from two to eight in its first year, and Virgin similarly said it would grow its collection of 737s from 56 to 84.

Talking at today’s CAPA Australia Pacific Aviation Summit in Sydney, Rex deputy chairman John Sharp said the business hadn’t finished expanding.

“Next year we intend to go to all capital cities around Australia and indeed to include our growth to some of the larger regional centres, particularly on the east coast of Australia,” said Sharp.
