Australian regional and domestic carrier Rex Airlines has signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to lease an additional Boeing 737-800NG as the airline continues to expand its domestic fleet. 

“With the full reopening of borders, Rex will continue to expand its domestic fleet and will look at introducing new aircraft whenever these become available for lease at favorable terms,” Deputy Chairman of Rex Airlines, John Sharp said. 

According to the airline, the new aircraft is expected to join the carrier’s fleet once it has undergone the necessary checks. However, Rex did not disclose the date.  

Currently, Rex has a total of 66 aircraft in its fleet, including 60 Saab 340s and six Boeing 737-800NGs.
