Regional Express Flight Status
About Regional Express
Regional Express, based in Australia, operates under the ICAO code RXA and the IATA code ZL; its radio callsign is "Rex". On this page you can follow Regional Express flights and find the airports it serves.
How to read a Regional Express flight number
Every Regional Express flight number starts with ZL, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix RXA, and controllers address it as "Rex". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by Regional Express and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.

Frequently asked questions about Regional Express
Where is my Regional Express flight right now?
Search the flight number (ZL plus digits) in the search box on this page. If the aircraft is airborne within receiver coverage, you will see its live status; before departure you will see the route.
Is my Regional Express flight delayed or cancelled?
Check the flight number on this page for live status, but for rebooking, gate changes and cancellations the airline itself remains the authoritative source.
What do ZL and RXA mean on Regional Express flights?
They are two prefixes for the same airline. ZL is the IATA code you see on tickets; RXA is the ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control.
Does Regional Express operate flights for other airlines?
Codeshare agreements mean a flight sold under another carrier's number may be operated by Regional Express, and the reverse. Live tracking always follows the operating carrier's flight number; check the "operated by" line on your booking.
