They took 3/5 leased Singapore 737s so one would assume they would take the last two within the next year after a heavy check as SQ appear to be deposing of the NG fleet post a heavy check, regardless if leased or owned. Virgin did a deal for all the SQ owned 737s so that ship has sailed.
MAX is very costly at 2023 pricing, likely out of the Rex price range, especially if not already tied to a past deal. Bonza, assuming paying the same as its sister company in Canada ($7m cad month/21 737s), appear to be paying $380k aud per month. Probably less compared to what Rex is fronting up for old machines, plus they have the added bonus of new built efficiencies.
