Rex has announced five-times weekly flights from Melbourne to Perth from Friday, June 28 with fares from $299 one way for economy and $999 for business class..
Rex General Manager Network Strategy, Warrick Lodge said: “The new service will add close to 90,000 seats to one of the nation’s busiest routes, which is great news for business, trade, tourism and travellers.
“When more airlines compete on a particular route, consumers benefit and our record in the domestic markets speaks for itself – Rex delivers terrific value for money,” Mr Lodge said.
The new Melbourne-Perth route is Rex’s 11th domestic service with its Boeing 737 fleet flying to major capital cities and popular destinations including Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart and the Gold Coast.
The carrier said it will make a further announcement in the coming days on another domestic route.
Victorian Government Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events Steve Dimopoulos said:
“We are delighted with the news of extra flights between Melbourne and Perth and look forward to welcoming even more visitors from Perth to experience all the wonderful things Victoria has to offer.”
Western Australia Deputy Premier, Treasurer and Minister for Tourism and Transport Rita Saffioiti said it was another win for Western Australian tourism. “We always love welcoming Victorian friends to the west coast, so this is a fantastic announcement for tourism and our local industry here in Western Australia.
