Rex Airlines to Add 90,000 Seats to One of Australia’s Busiest Air Routes

Rex said that consumers are expected to benefit from increased competition with Qantas and Virgin Australia.

Regional Express Airlines now wearing REX livery over the ex US Airways Express, Saab 340B at Wagga Wagga Airport on Oct. 30, 2016.

Rex Airlines will launch new Boeing 737 flights between Melbourne and Perth to run five days a week, as the airline continues to encroach on the market share of Qantas and Virgin.

According to the latest data from Statista, approximately 4.46 million domestic overnight visitors travelled to Perth in 2023, the second-highest number of domestic travellers to the capital of Western Australia since 2019.
