Sydney to Kuching
Malaysia · 22 months of data from Nov 2004
Flights on this pair are non-stop, but the aircraft usually continues beyond Kuching 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.
