International history milestones

Passenger milestones use complete calendar years only; a missing month stays missing and the partial current year cannot set the historical peak. Current breadth uses the global passenger window 2025-07 to 2026-06. Recorded destinations are passenger-record entities, not necessarily nonstop current services.

Punctuality is not published for international flights, so there is no on-time or cancellation figure here for Qantas's services to and from Australia — only for domestic flights, and only where an airline operates them.

Reported separately in the source data, and they do not perform alike — which is why this site keeps them apart.
