REX airline set to increase its fares
The soaring petrol prices will now affect our travel plans with one airline increasing its fares to keep up with the operational demand.
Regional airline REX will put their fares up by $10 with some lower priced fares being slapped with a higher rate.
REX’s general manager of network strategy Warrick Lodge said the price hike will begin from March 25.
“With fuel prices shooting up by over 30 per cent in recent weeks and with supply chains being severely disrupted, the existing ticket prices are no longer tenable,” he said.
Mr Lodge did assure customers that flights will remain affordable.
“Rex’s Business class starts from $299 and is often even cheaper than Qantas’ economy class which can well exceed $500, particularly during periods not competing directly with Rex,” he said.
“We will be bringing in additional aircraft shortly and more major cities in Australia will be able to benefit from Rex’s reliable and affordable air travel.”
The inflation is the first one in almost three years for the airline.
