Shares are of passengers carried, not of seats or flights, and they cover every Australian airport. Airlines are reported against destinations rather than city pairs, so these figures cannot be broken down further by city.
Recent passenger traffic
Positive passenger traffic appears within the latest year of the published BITRE series. This is record recency, not real-time operating status.
