Rex Airlines

Rex was born and raised in country Australia, and we continue to connect our regions with major urban centres like no other airline.   From east to west and right around the country, we’re here to take you there.   Our valued passengers can continue to book regional flights with confidence at rex.com.au ✈️

Thank you to all of our loyal passengers who continue to fly with us. We're proud to keep remote and regional communities connected right across Australia and we look forward to welcoming you on board the next time you fly Rex. #rexairlines

The Australian Government this morning announced an $80m financing facility to support the continued operations of the Rex network and their intention to extend the Federal Government Regional Flight Booking Guarantee.   This is great news for Rex.   It provides resources for investment needed to improve the business and the operational performance of the regional network including increasing the size of the active regional Rex fleet.   This investment is designed to increase reliability and capacity on our regional routes.   The Voluntary Administrators have also announced they are seeking to extend the period of voluntary administration to 30 June 2025. An extension coupled with a business improvement plan, enabled by the Australian Government’s $80 million financing facility, will put Rex in the best possible position for a sustainable future.   Learn more from the Administrators in this short video update.

Rex is here for regional Australia. We’re here to take you there.   With the Federal Government’s Regional Flight Booking Guarantee which was announced today, customers have extra peace of mind to book with confidence.   Head to rex.com.au to find out more. #rexairlines #regionalaustralia

As we shared last week, we’ve been focused on ensuring our regional network operates without disruption and we're proud to say that since Wednesday last week we’ve carried thousands of passengers across hundreds of sectors.    It has been great to see and hear the response of our customers and experience the groundswell of support for Rex’s continued success from ordinary Australians, as well as Governments, business, tourism bodies, and other stakeholders.   Today we are sharing a video update on the voluntary administration, including what you can expect from Rex during this period, and our continued commitment to keeping you flying on the regional network during this difficult period.

Important Update: Voluntary Administrators appointed. Regional Express Holdings Limited (ACN 099 547 270) and a number of its subsidiaries (ASX: REX) (the Rex Group) have entered voluntary administration. These are detailed on the Rex Group’s website. Samuel Freeman, Justin Walsh and Adam Nikitins of Ernst & Young Australia (EY Australia) have been appointed Joint and Several Voluntary Administrators by the Rex Group’s respective Boards of Directors. Regional Saab 340 flights are currently unaffected by the administration and will continue to operate. Domestic 737 services are grounded with Virgin Australia offering impacted Rex passengers free of charge rebooking. To find out more information about how these changes affect you, please watch this video or head to the Rex website – www.rex.com.au.

WE DID IT - Rex flights connecting Australia’s east and west coasts have finally taken off! ✈️🎉🥳 Rex is now flying five days a week between Melbourne Airport and Perth Airport with its Boeing 737s, and three days a week between Adelaide Airport Limited and Perth Airport using National Jet Express Embraer E-190 jets, delivering a new era of competitive pricing for travellers. 🛫 Rex Chairman the Hon John Sharp AM thanked the hundreds of passengers travelling on its inaugural services for their patronage, and urged Australians to “give Rex a go”. "This is a milestone moment for Rex, and one our amazing staff have worked so hard towards since our first domestic service roared down the runway just a few years ago," Mr Sharp said. "On behalf of Rex Airlines, I want to thank the three State Governments and each of the Airports and Tourism bodies who got behind us but especially, I wish to thank our passengers. "We are delighted you chose to fly with us today and we hope you and many more Australians will give Rex a go because we are delivering more competition, all you have to do is support us."
