Rex Airlines’ recent addition of the Perth-Adelaide and Melbourne-Perth routes is expected to help lower domestic airfares, although marginally.

“Rex’s announcement that it will be commencing flights between Melbourne-Perth and Adelaide-Perth will be welcomed by travellers on those routes as it promises better connectivity to Rex’s regional services in Western Australia and will almost certainly result in lower fares on the two routes,” Keith Tonkin, managing director of Aviation Projects, told The Epoch Times.
