Monday, March 11, 2024

Exciting news for travelers as Rex is thrilled to announce a new interline partnership with the globally acclaimed Etihad Airways. This collaboration marries Rex’s domestic service with Etihad’s expansive international network, offering seamless travel options for passengers.

“Partnering with a world-class airline like Etihad brings a new era of choice and connection for Rex passengers,” said Rex’s General Manager of Network Strategy, Warrick Lodge.

“Passengers will be able to fly to either Sydney or Melbourne on Rex and thereafter connect on Etihad to a further 72 destinations across the globe.”

“Etihad’s extensive international network includes Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the USA.”

“The entire journey, including Etihad and Rex connecting flights, can be booked under one booking and passengers can enjoy the convenience of through-check baggage (where permitted).”

Arik De, Etihad’s Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer said: “This exciting new partnership significantly expands connectivity options for Etihad guests, providing them with effortless access from our gateways in Sydney and Melbourne to pivotal destinations within the Rex network, including Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast.

“Equally, we are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to Rex customers, enabling them to seamlessly integrate into our expanding global network.”

Starting today, travelers can purchase Rex flights through Etihad’s website, www.etihad.com, as well as through reputable travel agents and online booking platforms.

Rex boasts the title of Australia’s most punctual airline, leading in on-time departures and maintaining the lowest rate of cancellations among domestic airlines, according to recent government statistics.

This partnership marks Rex’s second interline agreement, following an existing collaboration with Delta Air Lines, further expanding its network and accessibility.
