REX airline set to increase its fares
<p dir="ltr">The soaring petrol prices will now affect our travel plans with one airline increasing its fares to keep up with the operational demand.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Regional airline REX will put their fares up by $10 with some lower priced fares being slapped with a higher rate.</p>
<p dir="ltr">REX’s general manager of network strategy Warrick Lodge said the price hike will begin from March 25. </p>
<p dir="ltr">“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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Mr Lodge did assure customers that flights will remain affordable.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“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.”</p>
<p dir="ltr">The inflation is the first one in almost three years for the airline.</p>
