Seat utilisation is the total published by BITRE (Australia's transport statistics bureau), passengers carried over seats available, aggregated across the quarter by seats rather than averaged over the two directions

International seat capacity into Australia has roughly quadrupled since the early nineties, and airlines now fill far more of those seats.

What this shows: The chart covers 1991 Q1 to 2025 Q3. It plots Available Seats (indexed) and Seat Utilisation (%) on a vertical axis of Index (1991 Q1 = 100) for seats. Latest values: Available Seats (indexed) 423.5; Seat Utilisation (%) 83.2.
