Rex Reduces Fuel Surcharge
Tuesday, January 16, 2007

Australia’s largest regional airline Regional Express (Rex) announced today that it would be reducing its fuel surcharge to $24 per sector inclusive of GST.

Rex’s Managing Director, Geoff Breust, said the recent fall in the barrel price and the price ex Singapore had led to reduced jet fuel prices flowing through to the airlines.

“The reduction in the surcharge to $24.00 per sector brings it in line with the revised surcharge of QantasLink regional services, even though Rex does not have the buying power of a large international airline like Qantas,” Mr Breust said.

The surcharge reduction will apply to all tickets issued on or after 23 January 2007.

“Rex will continue to monitor the price of fuel and respond with appropriate changes to the fuel surcharge as and when necessary,” Mr Breust said.
