Does anyone know what is the largest number of passengers a 747 has ever carried? There were, indeed, a VERY large number of Ethiopians carried during Operation Moses (1985) and Operation Solomon (1991), but I believe the record is still held by a QANTAS 747 evacuating people from Darwin after a Cyclone sometime in the 70s.
