Airports and airlines are preparing for record passenger numbers these holidays, with delays possible at our two biggest airports. Sydney Airport expects 5.8 million passengers between this weekend and Australia Day. Melbourne Airport’s chief executive Lorie Argus said 4.8 million people will pass through its terminals in the same period. “One of the busiest times on record for us — both domestically and internationally,” Argus said.
As a result, Qantas, Virgin and Jetstar will keep a small number of aircraft on the sidelines should mechanical issues arise. Virgin has 2 ex-Rex Boeing 737s that will be used as spares, Qantas will keep a long-haul Boeing 787 on short-haul routes in case its domestic operations have problems. “But we’re only selling the seats equivalent to the capacity of a 737,” said Holland.
