After getting approvals to ramp up flying into Australia, Turkish Airlines has held talks with Australian domestic carrier Rex about forming a new partnership.
While Australian domestic carrier Rex has secured the lease deals it needs for its short-term fleet growth, it is also considering adding further aircraft.
Australia’s Competition and Consumer Commission says slot allocation at Sydney Airport must be reformed in order to increase competition in the domestic market.
Australian regional carrier Rex Airlines plans to launch daily service between Adelaide Airport and Sydney Airport from June 29 using Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
The airline has pledged to work with regulators to address competition concerns over its deal to buy Alliance and announced the launch of a route to Tonga.
