1st B737-800 in Rex Airlines-livery

On 25 December, Rex Airlines took delivery of its second B737-800, the first wearing the airline's livery. VH-RQC (33797) arrived at Sydney from Jakarta with an overnight stop at Brisbane. The aircraft was previously operated by Virgin Australia as VH-VOP.

On 5 November, the airline received its first B737-800, VH-VUF (34168), which is also a former Virgin Australia-aircraft. It has been used for crew training over the last few weeks, but was flown to Wagga Wagga on 11 December to get the Rex Airlines-livery.

In total Rex will get six B737-800s and plans to start flying the type on 1 March on the Melbourne-Sydney route, with Brisbane being added shortly after that.
