Darwin to Tokyo
Japan · 140 months of data from Oct 1986
Flights on this pair are non-stop, but the aircraft usually continues beyond Tokyo 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.

Recorded milestones use this city-pair passenger series, with both directions combined. A first positive record is not a service-launch date; complete calendar years require all twelve observed, non-null months.

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.
