New Qantas route - Perth to Paris from July 2024

[TheInsider]

I'd hate to be a party-pooper @Gavros333 , but if you work at Perth Airport, you have access to commercially-senstive information, which you probably should be careful what you share in a public forum. Pax numbers on flights is quite a commercially-sensitive topic - perhaps review your confidentiality clauses in your employment contract. Even the BITRE don't publish load factors on routes which can't be statistically greyed out.

ps. I used to work at airports around the country, so am aware of how much data you probably have access to.

Anyone with Qantas staff travel has easy access to these figures and are under no obligation to not post the figures, nor have any obvious agreement to not share. There are many apps around also asking for loads for staff travel enquiries.

Is it published data? Could we obtain access through this site, perhaps?

I wonder if this route is making money for Qantas? Over the past month, loads have been regularly under 100 pax. I realise that this time of year outbound to Europe may not be as strong, however the numbers are pretty low. Example, this past Wednesday just 47 pax were on QF33 PER-CDG

... and yet QF robbed MEL of the 787 to LHR to initiate this service.

I don't particularly mind what other people do with information/data they have access to and where they share that info. When you work at an airport for the airport owner (which is an assumption I've made about where gavros33 is working, but I might be wrong), then you have access to commercially sensitive data provided under commercial agreements from airlines, retailers etc. Those agreements state that the data is provided to the airport operator for a particular purpose, and shouldn't be disclosed or shared elsewhere. Sure, having made a few assumptions, I'm just encouraging the OP to be mindful if they do have access to that data from the airport owner.

YMMV

On a side note, most airports receive multiple pax feeds for arrivals and departures from various sources - airlines, ground handlers, govt depts - I'm sure people would be surprised at how many discrepancies there are on pax numbers on actual flights - you'd think they'd be the same number, but they never are. It was always a challenge to try to reconcile pax number differences. (for e.g. some pax numbers wouldn't count lap-infants, some wouldn't count dead-heading crew etc.)
