Punctuality by airline
12 months to Aug 2026. Qantas and QantasLink are reported separately in the source data and are shown that way here — on many routes the difference between them is large.
| Airline | Group | Flights | Cancelled | On time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jetstar | 483 | 1.2% | 75.5% | |
| Virgin Australia | Virgin Australia Group | 411 | 1.0% | 79.4% |
| QantasLink | Qantas Group | 31 | 0.0% | 74.2% |
Does the direction matter?
On this route it does. Delays build up through the day, so the aircraft flying the return leg is often already behind schedule. Cancellations, by contrast, usually take out both legs — which is why those figures barely differ.
| Direction | On time | Cancelled | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proserpine → Brisbane | 72.0% | 1.3% | 926 |
| Brisbane → Proserpine | 77.2% | 1.1% | 925 |

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.
Both directions combined, as published.
How long is the flight?
Scheduled flight time from Brisbane to Proserpine is 1h 50m gate to gate, over 895 km. The return leg is scheduled at 1h 35m — the two directions differ by 15m, so this way round is the slower one.
This is scheduled block time — from leaving the gate to reaching it at the other end — not time in the air, and not a substitute for checking your own booking. It is a median across the flights currently timetabled on this leg.
