Melbourne International Arrivals 13/8/20: CSN321 (A330-300/284 seats)
Total capacity to the east coast: 1737 available seats. Though you could probably say only 50% of those would be filled due to social distancing.
And then there's Perth:
0 arrivals. Zero. Zip. Nada. Oh, they only allow 525 international arrivals per week anyway. Yet they have the gall to tell half the country they can't travel to WA "because we don't have Covid over here"...Maybe they should start pulling their weight.
Caps on international passenger arrivals
National Cabinet agreed that existing caps on international passenger arrivals would continue in order to manage and maintain quarantine arrangements across jurisdictions.
Until 24 October the following will apply subject to further advice on quarantine capacity:
- Sydney – limit of 350 passenger arrivals per day;
- Perth – limit of 525 passenger arrivals per week;
- Brisbane – limit of 500 passenger arrivals per week;
- Adelaide – limit of 500 passenger arrivals per week;
- Canberra, Darwin – passenger limits on each flight to be discussed with jurisdictions on a case-by-case basis;
- Hobart – no international flights
