Flights up, fares down in Australia
Domestic air travel in Australia is bouncing back
Almost 10 per cent more people flew interstate in June compared with the same month a year ago, according to the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics.
The Melbourne-Sydney pair was especially busy.
Compared with June last year, 21.6 per cent more people flew between the cities. Load factor on the route rose two percent to 78.3 percent.
In the 12 months to the end of June, 51.7 million people flew domestically, up three per cent on the previous 12-month total while the number of aircraft flights increased by 2.2 per cent to 564,500.
The bureau’s latest survey of airfares shows that the cheapest tickets in August cost little more than half (57.2 per cent) of what they did in 2003.
