no positive passenger traffic in the comparable series
Hobart to Christchurch
New Zealand · 151 months of data from Jan 1985
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 Hobart–Christchurch was a bookable service in its own right.
