The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has announced that the domestic aviation sector has successfully recovered from the impact of COVID-19, with passenger levels and capacity now back to pre-pandemic levels.
According to the most recent Domestic Airline Competition in Australia report, 4.9 million domestic passengers traveled with Qantas, Virgin, Jetstar, Rex, and Bonza last March. This figure reflects 98.8 percent of the passenger levels recorded in March 2019, with seat capacity just slightly below pre-pandemic levels at 6.2 million.
