Virgin pips Qantas on annual domestic passengers
From: AAP July 04, 2012 2:58PM
VIRGIN Australia flew more domestic passengers than did Qantas-branded flights in the 12 months to the end of May - a first for aviation's traditional No 2.
In the year to May 31, Virgin carried 15.53 million domestic passengers, compared to 15.49m on Qantas-branded flights.
The Qantas figures do not include passengers who flew with its fully-owned subsidiary, Jetstar, which carried 830,000 passengers in May and 9.84m passengers in the year to May.
Virgin today also said it carried 1.42m domestic passengers in May, which compared to 1.37m passengers who flew with Qantas Domestic.
Virgin's domestic operations have previously carried more passengers than Qantas in a single month, but the latest data marks the first time Virgin has out-performed Qantas over a 12-month period.
