Punctuality by airline
12 months to Jul 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QantasLink | Qantas Group | 1,482 | 0.9% | 87.7% |
| Virgin Australia | Virgin Australia Group | 597 | 0.5% | 79.5% |
| Virgin Australia Regional Airlines | Virgin Australia Group | 81 | 1.2% | 73.8% |
| Qantas | Qantas Group | 64 | 1.6% | 92.1% |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Newman → Perth | 85.1% | 0.8% | 2,224 |
| Perth → Newman | 90.8% | 0.4% | 2,222 |

Passenger figures count both directions together — Newman to Perth and back. The published statistics do not separate them. Cancellations, punctuality and flight numbers above are for Newman to Perth 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.
Both directions combined, as published.
How long is the flight?
Scheduled flight time from Newman to Perth is 1h 50m gate to gate, over 1,019 km. The return leg is scheduled at much the same, 1h 45m.
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.
