I think MEL-SYD (or vv ) has been the second busiest route for a while, behind Korea's Seoul-Jeju. Even beat Mumbai-Delhi - not bad for the population difference!
Is this what happens when a country can't decide which city is its capital....?
Interesting data.
Funny that SQ's SIN-SYD route gets a mention, with 5 flights in each direction per day between the cities.
However SQ also has 5 flights in each direction per day between SIN and MEL, however SYD has all-year-round A380s while MEL only gets them on a seasonal basis. Probably why MEL-SIN didn't make an appearance in that list?
Thanks, great insight!SIN - MEL, overall (total of all airlines) is now a slightly busier route than SIN - SYD.
However travel agents I know suggest that there's more demand for 'premium cabins' out of and into SYD. Despite Melbourne rapidly catching up to Sydney in population, there's probably more financiers who jet to and from SYD, and they're the classic subsetor who pay one way or another for J or if available F class seats.
Given the disparity in ticket prices between F?J and Y, it doens't take many more J/F bookings to bump up revenues.
