Adelaide to Bombay
India · 124 months of data from Jan 1985
Flights on this pair are non-stop, but the aircraft usually continues beyond Bombay rather than terminating there. That is why the seat figures below cover more than this one pair, and why the load factor is given as a floor rather than an exact number.

How full were the flights?
Inbound load factor, read as a floor rather than an exact figure. Some flights on this pair also carried passengers to and from other cities, and their seats cannot be split between those journeys. Dividing by every seat on every aircraft that touched the route gives the lowest the true figure can be, so actual occupancy is at or above the line. Seat data begins in 2009, so this series is shorter than the passenger chart above.
