Rex welcomes 10th Boeing 737 to its fleet
Edited by Travel Weekly


    Rex’s domestic jet fleet has reached double figures with the airline taking delivery of its 10th Boeing 737-800NG.

    The aircraft, which will bear the registration VH-8ZL, arrived in Brisbane yesterday afternoon after a ferry flight from Goodyear, Arizona, in the United States.

    Prior to departing Arizona, the aircraft underwent scheduled heavy maintenance and painting, enabling it to enter service this week before the start of the busy holiday season.

    It’s the third 737-800NG Rex has taken delivery of since July this year and the airline expects to secure at least one more aircraft before the end of the FY2024, subject to availability.

    “This steady growth allows us to build more depth in to our schedule by adding additional frequencies on our most popular routes while at the same time allowing us to look at how we might also add more capital cities to our network,” Rex deputy chairman, the Hon John Sharp AM, said.

    Rex currently has 10 domestic routes connecting capital cities and holiday destinations in five states.
