Last week we asked…Flight reliability is key for corporate travellers, but what were Australia’s ten most punctual domestic routes from the flight departure perspective in Jun-2019?
The latest monthly report for Jun-2019 from the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE), part of the Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Cities and Regional Development, revealed that Perth-Karratha was Australia's best performing route by departure reliability (93.9%). This just pipped Sydney-Proserpine (93.8%) and Cairns-Townsville (93.7%), the latter also having the most reliable arrival performance. The rest of the top ten were: #4 - Darwin-Alice Springs; #5 - Adelaide-Gold Coast; #6 - Townsville-Cairns; #7 - Bundaberg-Brisbane; #8 - Brisbane-Gladstone; #9 - Canberra-Adelaide; and #10 - Perth-Port Hedland.
