Dangerous Goods
















Authorities state that dangerous goods are items that may endanger the safety of passengers or an aircraft. 

Therefore, before flying, it is important to check that your baggage has been packed correctly and complies with the dangerous goods regulations that have been set out to ensure your safety onboard your Rex flight. 

The obvious items include petrol, butane gas, and mace, but there are a number of common items that are considered dangerous goods such as aerosols, cigarette lighters, portable battery-powered devices, and portable medical oxygen. 

These items can be carried provided certain requirements have been met. 

If you are traveling with power banks and spare or loose batteries, please ensure they are packed in your carry-on baggage.

And remember, any items that you carry are for personal use only.

It is against the law to bring onto the aircraft, whether as carry-on baggage or checked baggage, restricted items as defined by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. The Company and airport or government officials may inspect and/or search your baggage with or without your presence.

REMEMBER IF YOU TAKE DANGEROUS GOODS ON BOARD, EVEN INADVERTENTLY, YOU MAY BE LIABLE TO PROSECUTION AND A JAIL TERM.

If there is any doubt about what may be carried on board the aircraft, you must request more information from the Company before commencing travel. Firearms and weapons of any description are prohibited in the cabin of any aircraft. Passengers shall not tender dangerous goods or potentially dangerous goods for Carriage as baggage. The Company may destroy, abandon and/or retain as evidence any such goods.
