Rex has today announced a new interline partnership with Etihad Airways which will see Rex passengers able to access more convenient connections with the UAE’s national carrier.
“Partnering with a world-class airline like Etihad brings a new era of choice and connection for Rex passengers,” said Rex’s general manager of Network Strategy, Warrick Lodge.
“Passengers will be able to fly to either Sydney or Melbourne on Rex and thereafter connect on Etihad to a further 72 destinations across the globe.
“Etihad’s extensive international network includes Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the USA.
“The entire journey, including Etihad and Rex connecting flights, can be booked under one booking and passengers can enjoy the convenience of through-check baggage (where permitted).”
Rex flights are now on sale through the Etihad website through travel agents and online travel agencies.
“This exciting new partnership significantly expands connectivity options for Etihad guests, providing them with effortless access from our gateways in Sydney and Melbourne to pivotal destinations within the Rex network, including Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra, Brisbane, and the Gold Coast,” chief revenue and commercial officer, Etihad, Arik De, said.
“Equally, we are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to Rex customers, enabling them to seamlessly integrate into our expanding global network.”
This marks the second interline agreement for Rex after the airline announced an interline arrangement with Delta Air Lines in 2022.
