Rex recently launched its eighth domestic destination connecting Sydney to Adelaide joining the existing Adelaide-Melbourne route. It now has Boeing 737-800 flights on eight routes from six destinations, including Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, the Gold Coast, Melbourne and Sydney.
The airline is planning to start Melbourne and Hobart route in August 2023.
John Sharp, Deputy Chairman, Rex said: “There is a strong demand on this route from eager travellers. What Rex brings to the market is choice and affordable fares with an excellent customer experience. We are not surprised that Adelaideans have shown great interest in flying with Rex to Sydney, just as they have embraced the Rex services between Adelaide and Melbourne which launched in 2021.”
Sydney–Adelaide is already served by Qantas, Virgin and Jetstar.
Congratulating Rex on the launch, Brenton Cox, Managing Director, Adelaide Airport said: “The route will enable easier connections between regional NSW and Adelaide, as well as regional SA and Sydney. Rex has again demonstrated its strong support for the Adelaide market, having introduced the Adelaide-Melbourne route in 2021. Today’s launch also comes just in time for the July school holiday peak.”
