The latest BITRE data showed that 81.9 per cent of Qantas and QantasLink flights took off on time, and 80.1 per cent arrived on time in March, compared to 78.7 per cent and 77.7 per cent, respectively, for Virgin Australia and VARA, though Virgin continued its lead in completion rates at 98.2 per cent.
Supporting the Australian Army’s UH-60M Black Hawk fleet, the aerospace giant has bases at Holsworthy, Oakey, and Brisbane to provide through-life sustainment of the aircraft.
The changes, to come into effect from 9 July, will affect all flights in the Sydney area, including from Sydney Kingsford Smith, WSI, and Bankstown Airport. The new flight paths were developed in conjunction with Airservices Australia, and were approved last year.
The 5,000-square-metre facility, supported by an extra 4,000 square metres of surrounding land, will eventually be able to handle around 60,000 tonnes per year. It comes as the first cargo flights are slated to arrive at WSI from July, with passenger flights to start in October at the latest.
The Australian Space Awards 2026, in partnership with Principal Partner Space Centre Australia, saw a confirmed total of 131 finalists across this year’s awards, which marks the seventh instalment of the national program celebrating excellence in Australia’s space industry.
