How the Perth to Gold Coast route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop PER to OOL flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

PER to OOL questions
Is PER–OOL running on time right now?
Mostly on schedule. The arrival side at OOL is the weaker end, route health score 78/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from PER to OOL?
Great-circle distance is 3,619 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 285–340 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does PER–OOL fly?
Virgin Australia runs the route with about 1 flight a week (thu). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at PER and arrival-side delay at OOL, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
