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

If you hadn't noticed

Look like VH-RQC got the inaugural service as RXA18 / ZL18 from Melbourne to Sydney at
07:21 and is currently returning to Melbourne as RXA33 / ZL33

VH-PAG ferried (positioned) to Melbourne from Sydney last night

REX has announced that it will fly twice daily services on the following routes:

MEL-OOL from 29/3/21;
MEL-ADL from 31/3/21; and
SYD-OOL from 1/4/21.

It looks as though REX is linking their regional flight hubs to their mainline services with the addition of ADL. BNE flights look to be on the backburner for now with not a large regional presence there.

Both VH-REX & VH-PAG have entered the fray.

Yes, REX have increased B738 flights to 6 per day from today and now need at least two aircraft operating.

I am flying to MEL tomorrow for four hours on their $49.00 fares. The aircraft to MEL will be different to the aircraft back so possibly I will be able to sample both the flagship regos on the one day. The orange and the blue

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.
