If you want to compare Broome to Melbourne better to compare it with a similar route such as Brisbane to Mount Isa
I only used those routes because Broome and Cairns were quoted in the post. I then wanted them to a common point.
I understand supply and demand. The point is that the difference in airport charges works out to $12.91 a passenger. It is a contribution but not the main driver in the high fares.
