Sustainability commitment |
Pioneering electric-powered aircraft Rex will start flight trials using an electric engine in one of its 34-seat Saab 340s in 2024. The aircraft will be retrofitted with an electric and hydrogen-powered MagniX engine and tested on short regional flights. Electric aircraft are said to be 30-40% quieter than turbine powered aircraft and up to 40% cheaper to operate. Sustainable in-flight catering Rex Business Class offers 100% recyclable, compostable food and beverage packaging, including the cardboard meal tray! All snacks, meals and wines are locally sourced and menus redesigned weekly. The airline has partnered with Do-Good-Labs to source the savoury snacks served in the main cabin. Do-Good-Labs is a Brisbane-based organisation that produces a range of tasty snacks and donates 50% of its profits to charities working to help communities and people in need. |
Rex safety procedures |
Rex has stringent measures in place to minimise the risk of infection. In response to COVID-19, Rex is continually monitoring advice of authorities and has implemented additional precautionary defences in accordance with official recommendations. |
