Cairns to Bombay
India · 85 months of data from Oct 1987
No positive passenger traffic is recorded for this city pair in the comparable series from January 2003 onward. Earlier passenger figures used a different method: a pairing could appear even when passengers changed flights along the way, so those records do not by themselves prove that Cairns–Bombay was a bookable service in its own right.
