Rex gears up for domestic launch, announces Aus Day flypast
Regional Express (Rex) will conduct a flypast of Sydney’s Harbour and beaches on 26 January, showing off its newly acquired 737-800NGs, as its inter-capital city network launch quickly approaches.
At approximately 10:15am on 26 January, one of Rex’s six leased Boeing 737s, sporting its newly revealed livery, is set to fly at 1500 feet over the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
The aircraft will then track past the Opera House from the east, before conducting a reversal turn to the west of the bridge.
The 737 is due to then make another pass over the Harbour Bridge before tracking east over the harbour to Sydney Heads, and making its run along the Northern Beaches.
Rex deputy chairman John Sharp AM said, “It’s a great honour for Rex to be taking part in our national celebrations. Rex will be bringing a little bit of country to Australia’s largest city on its biggest day.”
Meanwhile, as the carrier continues to prepare for its 1 March 2021 launch date of its inter-capital city routes, the airline has given both its aircraft and its staff a cosmetic overhaul.
The regional-turned-domestic airline has said it has redesigned its cabin crew uniforms in a style the airline has called “classic yet elegant”.
