With the current ME3 issues if you aren't getting high loads at the moment something is wrong.

With the current ME3 issues if you aren't getting high loads at the moment something is wrong.

My immediate question was whether the high loadings were a feature of the last month, or more sustained earlier than that.

BITRE data is only available up to October 2025, which averaged 88% load factor for them.
Inbound/Outbound
Oct 92.5%/83.7%
Sep 86.3%/89.3%
Aug 87.1%/78.3%

Need the 737 out of Perth to become a wide body and they’d probably have better loads too. The 330 is only on their god-awful timed flights

AirAsia X is running at much lower capacity compared to pre pandemic so market share was certainly up for grabs locally.
