Qld is a big state, so often the best way of getting to the most interesting corners is by getting airborne.
It’s here where Regional Express Australia delivers.
Affectionately known as Rex, the business is Australia’s largest independent regional airline.
Rex operates a fleet of more than 50 Saab 340 aircraft, encompassing a network of 60 destinations across Qld, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, SA and WA.
Within Qld, it flies to 24 destinations, making it an integral part of both the business and tourism chains within the Sunshine State.
Clients are invited to sit back and relax with a cuppa and take in the spectacular views from above.
Passengers can fly from Brisbane, Cairns or Townsville and be in the outback in under an hour.
While taking in the majestic landscapes from the air is one thing, travellers usually like to appreciate the terrain at a closer level as well.
For this reason, car hire is available from numerous Rex ports.
Rex destinations within Qld include Bedourie, Birdsville, Normanton, Boulia, Mt Isa, St George, Cunnamulla, Thargomindah, Richmond, Winton, Longreach plus plenty of other places worth getting to and exploring.
In 2012, the airline marked its 10th anniversary with the release of a coffee table book on the story of Rex. The Rex Group also comprises wholly owned air freight and charter operator Pel-Air Aviation and the Australian Airline Pilot Academy.
