Rex has announced thrice weekly Adelaide-Perth fights using an E190 jet with airfares from $249 for economy.

Flights which will be operated by Rex's subsidiary National Jet Express are now on sale for the services which start on June 28th.

The new route is now the 12th domestic service for the Rex Group which flies to major capital cities and popular destinations including such as the Gold Coast.

South Australia Minister for Tourism Zoe Bettison said the new Rex service will help entice more visitors to South Australia from what is the state’s fourth-largest interstate market. “It is very welcome news that Rex will start flying Perth to Adelaide, adding more flights into our state and offering another option for visitors from WA to see South Australia,” Ms Bettison said.

Western Australia Deputy Premier, Treasurer and Minister for Tourism and Transport Rita Saffioti said the new route is the second domestic Rex service into Perth, which is great news for travellers and tourism. “We’re always excited to welcome more flights into Western Australia from other states as it helps to boost tourism and provide more travel options for visitors. Of course, I have no doubt this announcement will also be warmly welcomed by tourism and hospitality operators who will also benefit from more people visiting WA.”

Perth Airport’s Chief Commercial and Aviation Officer Kate Holsgrove said that it is great to see Rex Airlines expand its route offerings to the Western Australian market. “Currently Rex operates four successful regional services within Western Australia. The introduction of Rex’s new interstate routes from our Terminal 2 is a sure sign of their confidence in the Perth market,” she said.

“This gives Western Australians more options for travel and we look forward to working with the Rex Airline team to ensure the new routes are successful.”

All fares include checked baggage and refreshments for travellers. Flights are on sale now at rex.com.au or via your trusted travel agent.
