25. If you wanted to fly into Beijing (PEK) on board a BAC One-Eleven, you could do so once a week. Identify the airline that operated this flight and the city it originated from.
The only One-Eleven operator I can recall that was even within striking distance of Beijing by then would be Philippine Airlines. Now I do recall that China and Philippines at that time were not on official speaking terms, so there wouldn't be much agreed service, and what demand there was would just route through Hong Kong on Cathay Pacific. So let's go for them from Manila. I'm surprised a One-Eleven had the range, but then I was surprised one was doing Gatwick to Tripoli as well.
