Qantas was the most punctual domestic airline in June, with around 80 per cent of Qantas flights departing on time.

The latest Government figures show 79.6 per cent of Qantas flights (Domestic and QantasLink combined) departed on time last month, the Group’s highest result for June since 2021 and close to long-term averages.

Qantas cancelled 3.3 per cent of flights for the month, with fog and ice affecting numerous airports, including Melbourne and Canberra.

The national carrier is looking to extend an early boarding initiative it’s been trialling during first wave of departures.

72 per cent of Jetstar flights departed on time in June and 2.2 per cent of Jetstar’s domestic flights were cancelled in June.

Comments from a Qantas spokesperson: 

“We know how important punctuality is to customer satisfaction and we are continuing to get customers to their destination on time more often.”
