Flights are fuller and airfares more expensive since the collapse of Rex’s jet business, a new Australian Competition and Consumer Commission report has found. Some fares have almost doubled in that time, including Adelaide to Melbourne which is up 95 per cent to $296. Flights from Melbourne to the Gold Coast are 70 per cent more expensive , and flying from Canberra to Melbourne is 54 per cent more expensive , the ACCC says.
The report comes on the same day Qantas announced a “Surprise Sale” on more than one million seats across its domestic network. But its “special” fare of $145 one way between Melbourne and Sydney is significantly more expensive than the previous sale price of $99 or $119 on that route in the past two years. Since July 2024, the number of available seats across all domestic airlines has shrunk by 6 per cent, but the number of passengers is about the same.
