Post-2003 passenger record

no positive passenger traffic in the comparable series
Cairns to Kuala Lumpur
Malaysia · 104 months of data from Apr 1993
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–Kuala Lumpur was a bookable service in its own right.
