From October 30, 2023, Rex will launch new daily direct service between Adelaide and Brisbane. The route will be operated with a Boeing 737-800NG, and introductory one-way fares are now bookable from $149.
On Friday (September 1, 2023), Rex Airlines announced the launch of new direct service between Adelaide and Brisbane starting October 30, 2023. The route will operate daily with a Boeing 737-800NG. Introductory one-way fares are now available for booking from $149. This is the third new route Rex has launched in the last three months, following the addition of service between Adelaide and Sydney, as well as between Adelaide and Melbourne. Adelaide is now connected to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, while Brisbane has direct flights to Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
In Friday’s route announcement, Rex’s Deputy Chairman, The Hon. John Sharp AM, said,
“Step by step, our footprint is gradually growing as we continue to spread our wings so we can achieve our goal of flying to, and between, all of our capital cities.”
Also commenting on the new service, Adelaide Airport’s Managing Director, Brenton Cox, said,
“Rex has opened a further pipeline for Queenslanders to discover South Australia and once again has created more choice for South Australian travellers heading to Queensland – this is on the back of its recently introduced services to Melbourne and Sydney. Adelaide Airport is back to pre-pandemic domestic passenger numbers and climbing so this new service is very timely. Rex has been a great supporter of ours for many years and we look forward to further market expansion in the near future.”
Brisbane Airport Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer, Gert-Jan de Graaff, added,
“The Brisbane to Adelaide market has been starved of capacity and is currently sitting at 88% of pre-COVID levels. Today’s announcement by Rex will instantly restore it to 99% capacity which is very welcome news for travellers. In 2019, 875,000 people flew between these two cities. We look forward to growing that number for the benefit of the people of Queensland and South Australia.”
Rex is Australia’s largest independent regional and domestic airline. The carrier operates a fleet of 58 Saab 340s and eight Boeing 737-800NGs, serving 57 destinations throughout all Australian states. The Rex Group also includes wholly-owned subsidiaries Pel-Air Aviation (an airfreight aeromedical and charter operator) as well as two pilot academies, Australia Airline Pilot Academy in Wagga Wagga and Ballarat. Rex is also a 50 percent shareholder of National Jet Express (NJE), a premier Fly-in-Fly-Out (FIFO) charter and freight operator.
