Rex looks to add more jets, more destinations
The country airline has its eye on two more Boeing jets plus new routes.
Regional Express has only just started flying a handful of Boeing 737s between Sydney and Melbourne, but the airline is eager to add more jets and more cities to its fledgling network as it takes on Qantas and Virgin Australia.
Rex will see its first tranche of six Boeing 737s parked in its Sydney hangars by the end of March, with Adelaide and the Gold Coast becoming their third and fourth destinations after previous plans to expand to Brisbane were put on hold.
In a sign of confidence on the recovery of domestic air travel, and its ability to carve out a slice of the current three-airline market (including low-cost carrier Jetstar), Rex says it's now "in discussions" on the delivery of two more Boeing 737s in time for the mid-year winter holiday season.
