New international flight routes are set to supercharge Australia’s hotel sector, creating demand for potentially 1.9 million room nights annually according to a new CBRE analysis.
Over the last year, CBRE has tracked the launch of 56 new international flight routes adding over 10,500 annual flights into key Australian cities, marking a significant shift in the country’s inbound travel capacity. This boost has direct implications for hotel performance. Increased capacity from core markets including China, India, Southeast Asia, North America and the Middle East is expected to drive the continued recovery in international arrivals, reinforcing aviation’s role as a critical lever for tourism and hotel sector growth.
To assess the impact of this increased flight capacity, CBRE analysed each route by airline, origin, frequency and aircraft type. This was used to estimate new international short-term arrivals and translate them into projected hotel room night demand and occupancy impacts across major markets.
