National Jet Express Bolsters Fleet with New Embraer E190, Expanding Services in Western Australia

Friday, March 8, 2024

National Jet Express (NJE), a subsidiary of the Rex Group of Airlines, recently expanded its fleet by acquiring a new Embraer E190 aircraft, which arrived in Perth, Western Australia, on March 4, 2024. This addition grows NJE’s Embraer E190 fleet to seven aircraft, coming after the introduction of the company’s ninth De Havilland Dash 8-Q400 aircraft in October 2023.

NJE’s interim Chief Operating Officer, Robin Furber, said, “NJE’s fleet expansion underscores our commitment to servicing the ever-growing demand of the resource sectors for a reliable carrier with modern and fuel-efficient aircraft.”

“The Embraer E190 aircraft is extremely popular with our customers as it provides their staff with a quiet and comfortable cabin featuring wide seats, excellent legroom, a 2-2 abreast cabin (no middle seat) and large overhead lockers.

“For too long the resource sectors have had to make do with unreliable, 30-year-old aircraft that are environmentally unfriendly for their fly-in/fly-out needs. This explains why NJE is now the first port of call whenever the resource sectors have new requirements for a premium operator that meets their ESG responsibilities.”

Furthermore, NJE has initiated new regular flights with the E190 aircraft from Perth to the newly opened West Musgrave Airport in a remote area of Western Australia, close to the borders with South Australia and the Northern Territory. These launches are part of NJE’s strategy to extend its network, with West Musgrave being the third new destination added in the last month, alongside Gruyere and Gladstone, enhancing NJE’s service offerings in the region.
