Indonesia AirAsia will launch its first route to Adelaide – the capital of South Australia – from Denpasar this June.
From June 25, the Indonesia-based AirAsia carrier will operate four weekly flights (outbound – Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday/return – Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) on the new route. Using 180-seat Airbus A320 aircraft, the new Denpasar-Adelaide service will provide 74,000 seats between the two cities.
In a statement, Veranita Yosephine, CEO, Indonesia AirAsia said: “We are thrilled to touch down in Adelaide and South Australia soon for the very first time. Australia is one of our most important growth markets with the recent addition of Cairns and Darwin to our network as well as Perth.”
“Bali is the most popular destination for South Australian travellers, and there is significant pent-up demand for flights at affordable prices, “ said Brenton Cox, Managing Director, Adelaide Airport. “We’re excited that Indonesia AirAsia has recognised this opportunity and added Adelaide services to its growing network.”
Including Adelaide, Indonesia AirAsia will offer flights to four cities in Australia including Cairns, Darwin, and Perth.
Between Denpasar and Adelaide, Qantas' budget subsidiary Jetstar currently is the lone airline operating flights on the route.
