But with 2022 coming to a close, just how well did the airlines go with their on-time performance and the number of cancelled flights?
Between grappling with staff shortages, supply chain issues, the cost of fuel and the near-insatiable demand for flying, it’s fair to say the local airline industry’s return to the skies after COVID-19 has been challenging.
The country’s smallest domestic carrier Regional Express proved the most reliable over the eleven months, consistently beating out its rivals on average on-time performance across the period. The latest BITRE data shows Qantas has established a comfortable margin, of about 10 points, over Virgin’s on-time performance for the past couple of months and also reduced its operations on some routes to account for the capacity constraints.Sam D’Agostino
