Fleet Development Rex Operates The World's Largest Fleet Of Saab 340 Aircraft.
Fleet development
Rex operates the world's largest fleet of Saab 340 aircraft. The delivery of 25 ex-American Eagle Airlines Saab 340B Plus aircraft started in mid-2007 and enabled the expansion of services and the phase-out of the airline's Saab 340As, and some older B models. The 340B Plus has a quieter and more comfortable interior.
In July 2008 the company announced that all of its 340As would be phased out; however one rejoined the fleet in July 2015 after a 7-year stint with Rex's subsidiary airline Pel-Air and remains in service as of January 2020. The airline also previously operated some Fairchild Metro 23 aircraft seating 19 passengers, but the aircraft were later phased out.
The airline operated an all-Saab 340 fleet with three variants of the type until December of 2020,[40] when the airline commenced jet aircraft operations following the delivery of its first Boeing 737-800. Since then, an additional eight have been delivered.
Rex Airlines Pty Ltd is an Australian regional airline based in Mascot, New South Wales.
The Saab 340 is a Swedish twin-engine turboprop aircraft designed and initially produced by Saab AB
