REX announces new community fare for Orange air passengers

The $109.00 “Rex Community Fare” is available on 30% of seats between Orange and

Sydney for advanced bookings of at least 30 days prior to departure. In addition, all

remaining seats one day prior to departure will be available at the Community Fare (Rex

Promo) level.

Warrick Lodge, Rex General Manager Network Strategy & Sales said, “Orange is only the

seventh regional community on Rex’s network of 60 destinations that will now enjoy this

unprecedented fare offering.”

“Following the successful introduction of the Rex Community Fare scheme in Albany and

Esperance in WA, Broken Hill, Moruya and Parkes in NSW, and Burnie in Tasmania , Rex is

confident that the local Orange community will reap the same significant socio-economic

benefits that these 6 other communities have experienced.”

“This Community Fare is made possible through a collaborative partnership approach

between Rex and the City of Orange and is expected to drive substantial growth in

passenger numbers.

Orange Mayor Cr Reg Kidd has welcomed the new agreement as a way to encourage

“I’m pleased this new agreement will make air travel in and out of Orange more attractive to

consumers,” Cr Reg Kidd said. “The ratepayers of Orange can be assured this deal gives

Rex the means and a real incentive to grow its number of passengers, while assuring the

council of a stable income to operate the airport and giving air travellers access to a

community fare.”

“It’s a win-win.”

“It’s encouraging for the future that the leadership of both Rex and the Council has been

able to sit down together and reach this agreement.”
