rexnews Day in Dubbo Rex recently spent a day in Dubbo at the Harvey World Travel Expo. Rex Sales Manager NSW and Qld, Maurice Gahan, was there to promote the airline to the 300 visitors from the Dubbo community. Maurice implemented a competition that allowed visitors to go into a draw to win two return flights between Dubbo and Sydney. Most attendees were leisure travellers, so they were interested in Rex to connect them with other airlines to get to their holiday destinations. However, some frequent travellers who use Rex for business, flying on the Dubbo-to-Sydney route, also attended the expo. Rex operates 82 weekly flights between Dubbo and Sydney and a further 10 weekly flights between Dubbo and Broken Hill, which makes Dubbo one of the most frequently serviced ports across the Rex network. Rex History Take home a piece of aviation history with Rex's 10th anniversary commemorative coffee table book, The Rex Story – The First 10 Years. Come on a journey through Rex's history, from its origins as Hazelton and Kendell airlines through to its inception after the Ansett collapse, its acquisition of subsidiaries Pel-Air and Air Link and the foundation of AAPA. Peruse 118 pages filled with images, including striking photographs of the Rex fleet, read the stories of staff who made sacrifices to keep the airlines going during administration, and take a look at the heartfelt messages of congratulations from stakeholders. The book, which is available in soft cover, is the perfect gift for an aviation buff. All profits go towards supporting the charities Country Hope and Can Assist, both in Wagga Wagga.
