Sydney to Nauru
147 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 Sydney–Nauru was a bookable service in its own right.
