Australian travellers are taking to the skies in record numbers, outstripping pre-pandemic levels for the first time.

Hour for hour, there’s no better way to warm the planet than to fly in a plane

It would be interesting to get these numbers split out to pure holidays, work travel, and visiting family.

I suspect work travel has plummeted since 2020. I know it's anecdotal, but everyone I've spoken to who has traveled overseas recently has been seeing family.

I don't think pure holiday travel has recovered yet.
