Rex and Delta Air Lines announce partnership
Australian regional carrier Rex has agreed to establish a commercial agreement with Delta Air Lines
The airlines have inked a letter of intent.
The final agreement will see Rex and Delta providing reciprocal interline ticketing and baggage services from the third quarter in 2022.
“This is a milestone moment for Rex and our passengers. Rex is delighted to forge a partnership with Delta. Our tie-up will help boost the post-Covid return of long-haul international travel,” Rex Deputy Chairman, John Sharp said.
Delta operates over 4,000 flights a day to more than 275 destinations on six continents and has served as many as 200 million customers annually.
“Delta will not only connect international travellers on Rex’s trunk domestic routes, but could also allow them easy access to Rex’s network of over 60 routes throughout regional Australia,” Sharp added.
Rex’s passengers will be able to connect on Delta’s daily, non-stop flights between Sydney and Los Angeles, which will increase to 10 flights a week beginning December 18, 2022.
“Rex will be a valued partner that will bring additional connectivity and geographic reach to both airlines,” said Delta’s Vice-President – Alliance Partner Development, Jeff Arinder.
