Rex increases airfares due to "spiralling" fuel costs

Rex Airlines has announced that fares across its regional and domestic network will be going up by at least $10 within days in light of “spiralling fuel costs” and other “inflationary pressures”. The carrier revealed that from Friday, 25 March, all fares will be increased by at least $10, with larger increases to be imposed on current sale fares. The move has been made “in response to the steep increases in operational costs due to spiralling fuel costs and overall strong inflationary pressures”, Rex said. Rex general manager of network strategy Warrick Lodge said this marks the first time in over three years that Rex has decided to increase airfares.<br/>
