Passenger figures count both directions together — Sydney to Proserpine and back. The published statistics do not separate them. Cancellations, punctuality and flight numbers above are for Sydney to Proserpine 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 Sydney to Proserpine is 2h 35m gate to gate, over 1,517 km. The return leg is scheduled at 2h 25m — the two directions differ by 10m, 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.
