Townsville to London

UK · 76 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 Townsville–London was a bookable service in its own right.
