On Monday (December 20, 2021), Rex announced the launch of inaugural service between Sydney and Brisbane which departed this afternoon.

“This is a great way to end what has been an extraordinary year for both Rex and the whole aviation industry. Despite the obvious difficulties I am extremely proud of what we have been able to achieve. It’s always nice to prove the sceptics wrong and the big plans we have for 2022 means next year promises to be even more exciting.”

Fares on the route start at $59 including a checked bag up to 23 kilograms, a carry-on and refreshments.
