has been expended?
(2) To date, what percentage has
Perth's aviation capacity recovered from pre-COVID levels?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. I answer on behalf of the minister representing
the Minister for Tourism.
(1)–(3) The
state government has worked hard to secure more direct flights to Western Australia,
with flights secured from 19 international destinations. As of February 2024,
international capacity at Perth Airport has reached 109 per cent of pre-COVID
levels, while domestic capacity is at 101 per cent.
