VH-PAG is now airborne from CGK and by my estimate about 25 minutes behind REX. PAG is estimated to arrive in BNE at 19:10 local time, 20:10 SYD time.

Both REX B738s have arrived in BNE with VH-REX touching down at 19:17 local and VH-PAG at 19:37, 20 minutes behind.

Interestingly on the flight from CGK, VH-REX descended from 41,000 to 15,000 in just over 10 minutes while over the Northern Territory, stayed at that altitude for nearly 4 minutes and then climbed back to 41,000. The speed reduced while at 15,000 to a lowest of 310 knots. Pretty strange. Could the crew have been performing an approved practise depressurisation event?

Thanks Lloyd for the photos. No discreet livery brought into BNE at night for either of those two aircraft.

I thought while the two B738 are in BNE that REX might take the opportunity to announce at a press conference, with the planes in the background, the date for the commencement of SYD-BNE-SYD flights, which were originally due to start in April, 2021.

REX wants advice on their livery slogan color.

PAG is orange
REX is blue
