Australian airports saw lower on-time rates and a 13.3% rise in airfares in 2024, reports show.

Australian airports' on-time performance and airfares were assessed in recent reports. Perth had the lowest on-time arrival rate (65.4%) and Hobart the lowest departure rate (60.7%) among capital cities in December 2024. Airfares on major routes rose by 13.3% by September 2024, following reduced competition after Rex's exit and Bonza's liquidation, leading to fuller flights and potentially higher fares.
