The introduction by East–West Airlines of low-cost fares on the Sydney–Melbourne and Sydney–Brisbane routes in the first half of 1983 generated considerable debate within the aviation industry. The early stages of this debate were characterised by a lack of data on the passenger response to these innovative fares. In this Paper the results of a series of four surveys and an analysis of trunk network patronage designed to assess passenger response to discount air fares are described. The work was not restricted to the response of East-West Airlines' passengers but also included the response of passengers who travelled with Ansett Airlines of Australia and Trans Australia Airlines. One of the implications from this analysis is that a policy of minimising spillage of full fare passengers may be inconsistent with profit maximisation in the short term. Another implication is that optimal seat reservation procedures require data on the unsatisfied demand for full and discount fares.

This report covers monthly domestic (including charter) aircraft and passenger movements, available seats, load factors, revenue passenger kilometres and available seat kilometres. Details are provided for the top competitive routes, the top ten domestic airports in terms of RPT passenger movements, top five airports in terms of cargo movements and the top fifty regional airports. Also included are details on charter passengers and aircraft flights, where BITRE confidentiality standards are met.

These reports summarise annual (calendar or financial year) punctuality and reliability data of major domestic and regional airlines operating between Australian airports. Details are published for individual airlines on competitive routes and for airports on those routes.

Publication of monthly Domestic Airline On Time Performance statistics was suspended from April 2020 to December 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19 related travel restrictions on activity levels and to reduce the reporting burden on airlines during that period.
