Airport traffic: to Jul 2013

Broome handled 47,206 passenger movements in Jul 2013, the 21st busiest of the 22 monitored airports. Across its 1 monitored routes, 0.8% of flights were cancelled — well below the national average.

A passenger movement is not the same as a passenger. Every domestic passenger is counted twice — once departing, once arriving — while an international passenger is counted once. That is the official definition, and it is why these totals cannot be added to the route figures elsewhere on this site.
