Rex whatever it is called, will happen by this time next year. And looking at the performance of the VA Administrator, I think the market will be QF, ANZ, JQ and RexNeo.

Intra Australia travel and tourism will happen and it will expand to the NZ, Singapore, Korea, Japan bubble fairly quickly.
agree with above, but not ANZ. JQ for leisure market, but if Rex has lower costs, they could do an Air NZ & be both full service & low cost.

Don't know why Rex would want to go outside of golden triangle Mon-Fri peak hour, except maybe to PER & then ADL after golden triangle bedded down & they then need more aircraft.

To do triangle & to make money need frequency in peak hour Mon-Fri. Aircraft could do other flights during middle of the day, on Saturdays & Sunday am, but as Neeleman said recently re breeze, if the aircraft are incredibly cheap, don't need to fly them hard. Allegiant bought their initial MD80s for about USD$1m apparently, spent SFA on them & parked them at quiet times of week rather than try & give away seats. (they did fly a lot of flying for the vegas casinos who think subsidised the flights into Vegas from 1 horse towns, no one had ever heard of, so the casinos "trapped" punters at Vegas for a week, as only 1 flight a week) Cheap flight, cheap hotel & made big dollars out of casino.
