Regular Public Transport air services data for Australian airports, aggregated monthly by city pair. The dataset includes metrics such as passengers carried, aircraft trips, great circle distance, Revenue Passenger Kilometres, and Available Seat Kilometres. It is produced by the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics and was last updated in July 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze passenger traffic seasonality based on monthly passenger counts.
- Model airline route profitability based on Revenue Passenger Kilometres and Available Seat Kilometres.
- Calculate network efficiency metrics based on great circle distances between city-connected airports.
- Benchmark airline operational frequency based on aircraft trips per city pair.
Strengths
- Includes multiple key aviation performance metrics: passengers, trips, distance, RPKs, and ASKs.
- Data is provided at a monthly granularity for temporal trend analysis.
- Produced by an authoritative government body, the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics.
