https://australianaviation.com.au/20...ore-routes/Rex has promised it will launch more services on Qantas exclusive routes as the bitter row between the airlines over network expansion continues.

The regional carrier made the announcement alongside revealing its demand is back to 60 per cent of pre-COVID levels and suggesting the business expects to break even during FY2021.

Rex’s promise to take on Qantas marks another escalation in the war of words between the two airlines, which have for months been launching services to destinations previously exclusive to each other.

In the last few weeks alone, Qantas’ chief executive Alan Joyce has mocked Rex’s “empty aircraft” while Rex deputy chairman John Sharp has said his rival is “technically insolvent”.
