It is Rex's 12th domestic jet route and will follow nonstop Melbourne-Perth earlier next month. “This is terrific news for Perth and Adelaide travellers because more operators mean more competition,” NJE director, Anthony Gibara, said. “We intend to increase the number of services once we are established on the route.” Adelaide Airport managing director, Brenton Cox, said: “It’s great to witness Rex’s growth in the domestic market, offering more choice for travellers on one of our key domestic routes. In this case, just in time for the July school holidays. The new service will help fill a capacity gap and stimulate traffic volumes on the route.”
