Indonesia AirAsia has announced it will return to Darwin, Australia with direct flights from Denpasar (Bali) this March.
From March 22, the Indonesia-based AirAsia subsidiary will operate three weekly flights (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) between Denpasar and Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory.
“Bali is now our largest hub in terms of flight capacity, driven by strong demand. These direct flights will cater to the enduring popularity of Bali as a destination for Australians and offer great low fare connections to over 130 destinations across the AirAsia Group network,” said Veranita Yosephine, CEO, Indonesia AirAsia.
“Bali has long been the number one holiday destination for Darwin residents and these flights will undoubtedly see a surge of travellers embarking on their Indonesian adventures,” added Sandra de Kock, Executive General Manager, Airport Development Group (ADG) – the operator of Darwin International Airport.
According to ADG and AirAsia, the new service will provide over 1,000 seats weekly between Denpasar and Darwin.
“This air connectivity will facilitate the growth of two-way tourism, foster deeper people-to-people interactions, and is anticipated to ultimately create new business opportunities between Indonesia and the Northern Territory,” said Bagus Hendraning Kobarsih, Consul, Consulate of the Republic of Indonesia – Northern Territory.
Darwin will be the eight destination and the third in Australia served by Indonesia AirAsia from Denpasar, where it currently operates flights to Bangkok-Don Mueang, Cairns, Hong Kong, Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur, Perth, Phuket, and Singapore.
