A while ago I had to fly Perth to Kalgoorlie (return), a flight that normally takes a bit over an hour, but I have done in as little as 46 minutes. On the same day I could have flown from Perth to Los Angeles return for $50 less. It was rumoured that the two most profitable routes for Qantas in the world for nearly ten years were Perth to Port Hedland and Perth to Newman return, both Iron Ore mining hubs. At one stage there were 6 flights a day to Newman 7 days a week for many years and never a spare seat. Typical flight times 1 hour 20 minutes, cost of tickets around $1100 and nominal population of Newman is 4500 people... Edit : these are all flights within the state of Western Australia |
