Darwin to Christchurch
New Zealand · 62 months of data from Apr 1989
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 Darwin–Christchurch was a bookable service in its own right.
