Jump to postOn another (but interesting) note - Qantas also operated the first ever Boeing 747 to land in Malaysia on 1st April 1972 - arriving Kuala Lumpur from Sydney via Singapore
Jump to postQantas also operated some London flights via KUL up until 1983 or 1984.. think it flew via BOM or BAH.
I believe on occasion this service also routed via Damascus around 1979/1980
And the issue is..?
It's the same routing as SQ318 currently following behind it..
