| Which Airlines Have the Most Full Flights? |
Ever wondered which airlines have the most passengers? Well, there's no need to guess! Each month, the Australian government publishes information revealing exactly how full each airline's international flights are.
In September 2018, for example, we know that Qantas' flights to Chile, Indonesia, South Africa and the UK were standout performers, with more than 90% of seats filled on average. Meanwhile, Virgin Australia did not have average loads above 90% to any of its international destinations, and the airline's new flights to Hong Kong are struggling with around a 61% load factor. Virgin's top-performing route was Australia to Bali, with 86% of seats occupied. The airline with the lowest passenger loads was Donghai Airlines, which filled just 36% of seats.
