ONE MILLION REASONS TO SMILE (June 2005)

Before the 2005 financial year ticked over, Rex carried one million passengers! Champagne flowed on all Rex flights on June 23 and three lucky travellers were selected as special One Millionth Customers. The passengers were surprised at  presentations in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, where they received goodies including two return air fares, a bubbly hamper from De Bortoli's, corporate merchandise and of course, an all round congratulations and pat on the back.

Making the special announcement, Rex Managing Director Geoff Breust said passing the million milestone marked a significant achievement for Rex and reflects the great support the airline has received since it commenced operations just under three years ago.

“This is an important moment in the history of Rex and we thank all our customers and supporters. We budgeted to achieve this level and are we're even more pleased we have reached the mark with more than a week to go” Geoff said.

Rex commenced services in August 2002 and in the eleven months of our first Financial Year carried only 665,000 passengers. To reach one million passengers in just our third year of operation is a tribute to the efforts of our staff, management and board.

Rex is firmly committed to serving regional communities and has consistently increased capacity and frequency across our network as demand for our flights has risen. Passenger carriage on many of our routes now far exceed historic levels prior to the Ansett collapse.

Our achievement is clearly the result of the great support we have received from our customers. The whole Rex Team thanks them for their support and stands ready to work towards an even greater target for next Financial Year.
