Cairns to London

UK · 190 months of data from Mar 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–London was a bookable service in its own right.
