Passenger figures count both directions together — Armidale to Sydney and back. The published statistics do not separate them. Cancellations, punctuality and flight numbers above are for Armidale to Sydney only.

When is this route busiest?

Average passengers by calendar month, relative to the annual average. 2020 and 2021 are excluded — those years were a structural break, not a season, and leaving them in shifts the apparent peak month on most routes. Higher months are typically the more expensive ones to fly.
