Australian carrier Rex has taken delivery of the airline’s ninth B737-800NG.
The aircraft arrived in Brisbane on September 22, after a ferry flight from Singapore’s Changi Airport where it underwent a scheduled heavy maintenance check and painting. The aircraft will bear the registration VH-8JS and will enter service next month enabling the airline to launch its new route between Adelaide and Brisbane on October 30.
This latest addition to the fleet closely follows Rex’s eighth B737-800NG which entered into service on August 15, and will allow Rex to further increase its domestic footprint across all the capital cities in Australia. Rex now has ten domestic routes connecting capital cities and holiday destinations across five States.
The airline intends to add another two B737-800NG aircraft to its domestic fleet before the end of the financial year based on aircraft availability.
