The agreement “also will provide the U.S. airline with easy access to Rex’s expansive network of more than 60 regional Australia routes”, Sharp added. Delta Air Lines vice president for alliance partner development, Jeff Arinder, said the LoI will introduce more connectivity and geographic reach to both airlines. “We look forward to welcoming more customers aboard our flights from Sydney to the U.S., providing them with a world class customer experience in the air and on the ground," he said.
