Please refer to explanatory notes - paragraphs 4, 5, and 7 in particular.Seat Factors shown in this table:Traffic shown in this table for China Airlines, Emirates, Qantas Airways and Singapore Airlines may differ from traffic shown in Tables 1 and 2 because of the inclusion in this table of total traffic into and ex Australia (for seat factor purposes) whereas Tables 1 and 2 include uplift/discharge traffic only. All other airlines report uplift/discharge traffic only. Currently, there are no other airlines operating via Australia, and therefore uplift/discharge traffic is the same as total traffic into and ex Australia for all other airlines.Available seats have not been counted where passenger aircraft have been used to operate freight only services. However, this adjustment cannot be madefor airlines that report monthly aggregates and that have operated a mix of passenger and freight only services using passenger aircraft.Some airlines have reported adjusted seats to take account of social distancing while others have reported fitted seats.

These statistics show uplift/discharge data – These data detail, by direction, the revenue traffic between the actual points of uplift and discharge within each flight, aggregated for all flights within the period. It shows the movement of traffic between two airports not necessarily directly connected but within the same flight number. Typically, flight numbers change when an aircraft reaches its home country. This means that uplift/discharge data for the port in the operator's home country are likely to be overstated by traffic whose origin/destination point is beyond that port. For example, uplift/discharge traffic reported in this publication as Singapore could include traffic whose origin/destination is Europe.

4. These statistics cover revenue traffic carried by the operators of scheduled regular public international air transport services only and do not include charter traffic.

5. Flights with no revenue traffic uplifted from Australia or discharged in Australia are treated as positioning flights and are not included in this data collection. This mainly affects dedicated freighter flights where some flights outbound from Australia do not pick up freight in Australia.

PRODUCTION AND INTERPRETATION

6. Tables 1 and 2 show the country of the relevant uplift or discharge port served by that airline. For example, traffic uplifted/discharged between Sydney and Singapore by British Airways would be shown as Singapore traffic in Tables 1 and 2.

7. Table 3 shows figures for the country of service (or route) for each airline and therefore may not equate to the data in Tables 1 and 2. For example, the British Airways UK service identified in Table 3 could include passengers uplifted or discharged in Singapore as well as the UK; these passengers would be shown individually under those countries in Tables 1 and 2. The difference in treatment of data between Tables 1 and 2 and Table 3 is necessary in order to work out a meaningful Seat Utilisation figure for Table 3.

Figures shown in Table 3 may include total traffic into and out of Australia for airlines that fly through Australia (also necessary in order to work out a meaningful Seat Utilisation figure). Therefore, figures in Table 3 may not equate to figures in Tables 1 and 2. For example, passengers carried by Qantas Airways from New Zealand via Australia to the UK will be included in Table 3 but will not be included in Tables 1 or 2 as these passengers were not uplifted/discharged in Australia.

8. Table 5 – shows uplift/discharge passenger and freight data for city pairs with “same flight number” international flight connections.

9. Where figures have been rounded, discrepancies may occur between sums of component items and totals, and in percentage changes which are derived from figures prior to rounding.

10. Published figures may be revised where figures missing at the time of publication are received or misreporting/miscalculation necessitates revisions.

DEFINITIONS

11. The following definitions have been used in this publication:

(a) Aircraft Movement: A landing or a take off. (b) Freight: The aggregate of all revenue freight uplifted or discharged in Australia. (c) Inbound: Inbound to Australia/Australian international airport. (d) Mail: The aggregate of all mail uplifted or discharged in Australia. (e) Outbound: Outbound from Australia/Australian international airport. (f) Revenue Passengers: please refer to paragraph 12. (g) Seat Utilisation: The ratio of passengers carried to seats available, expressed as

a percentage. (h) Seats Available: Generally based on standard aircraft configuration, the

aggregate of seats available on all flights operated over a particular service. (i) Services: Scheduled flights over authorised routes which are listed according to

the main ports involved.

COMPARABILITY OF DATA OVER TIME

12. Revenue Passengers:

- For July 2000 and onwards: All passengers paying any fare (frequent flyer redemption passengers are regarded as revenue passengers). In most cases, Revenue Passengers will now include all passengers excluding Free Of Charge passengers and positioning crew.

- To December 1999: The aggregate of all passengers paying 25% or more of the standard air fare (as defined by ICAO at the time).

- January 2000 to June 2000: Transition period.

The Revenue Passenger definition change could result in approximately a three per cent increase in passenger numbers over a full period (month or year).

13. Country and City data – reporting of Uplift/Discharge data by Qantas Airways:

- Prior to January 2003: Uplift/Discharge within Qantas Airways’ international network.

- For January 2003 and onwards: Uplift/Discharge within flight number – as per the standard definition.

For example, what was reported as Adelaide to London in January 2002 (no direct services between these two cities), would be reported in January 2003 as either Adelaide to Singapore or Melbourne/Sydney to London.

This change was introduced in order to make the data comparable across all airlines operating services to/from Australia.

The effect of this change – comparing data under the two methods of reporting: - Country of Port data (Tables 1 & 2) – There will be a shift in traffic to countries

such as Singapore and United Arab Emirates (from 2013) which are used as hubs and away from countries such as France, Germany and Italy which

Page 27: International airline activity DITRDC

27

previously received traffic channelled through hubs. The total volume of traffic is not affected.

- Country of Service data (Table 3) – no change, as the Uplift/Discharge definition is not applicable to classifying the country of service.

- Australian International Airports (Table 4) – there may be a shift of traffic to the major airports.

- City Pairs (Table 5) – There will be a shift in traffic to cities such as Singapore and Dubai (from 2013) which are used as hubs and away from cities such as Paris, Frankfurt and Rome which previously received traffic channelled through hubs. The total volume of traffic is not affected.

- Prior to the change, statistics reported for city pairs without “same flight number” international flight connections mainly reflected carriage on interconnecting international services by Qantas Airways. That traffic should have been interpreted as increasing the volume of traffic between the primary international ports rather than as an indicator of traffic volumes between ports without “same flight number” international flight connections. It should be noted however, that there was no double counting of traffic.

14. Country of Service classification by Qantas Airways:

- For July 2002 and onwards: based on the foreign country where same flight number services commence or cease – as per the standard definition. For example, Sydney-Denpasar-Singapore services would be classified as Country of Service = Singapore.

- Prior to July 2002: based on Qantas classification – this mainly affected Indonesia and Singapore Countries of Service. For example, Sydney-Denpasar-Singapore services were classified as Country of Service = Indonesia.

15. Airline data – Reporting of code share services:

Reporting of traffic split by airline code for code share arrangements was discontinued as of June 2000. For July 2000 and onwards, ALL traffic carried is reported under the operating airline regardless of code share arrangements. Monthly airline market share figures for July 2001 onwards will be comparable with the same month in the previous year. However, these figures may not be comparable with monthly data prior to July 2000.

DATA ISSUES

During the period impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, airlines that normally would only

operate scheduled air services could also operate charter air services and where charter air

services are not clearly identified, they may be included in the data in this publication.

Seat utilisation:

Available seats have not been counted where passenger aircraft have been used to operate

freight only services. However, this adjustment cannot be made for airlines that report

monthly aggregates and that have operated a mix of passenger and freight only services

using passenger aircraft.

Some airlines have reported adjusted seats to take account of social distancing while others

have reported fitted seats.
