AirAsia has resumed services on the popular Perth to Bali route after over two years, providing West Australian travellers more options when it comes to returning to one of their favourite international leisure destinations.
AirAsia’s inaugural #ArrivalRevival flight, (QZ537), which was 93% full, departed Perth Airport last night at 20:00 and arrived at Bali’s Ngurah Rai Airport, Denpasar, just before its scheduled arrival time of 23:50, where guests were treated to a special welcoming event including gifts from Indonesian Tourism on arrival.
“The past two years have been extremely difficult for everyone, however, things are finally returning to normal,” AirAsia Indonesia CEO, Veranita Yosephine, said.
“We are thrilled to return to West Australia. It was truly an incredible moment to welcome everyone on board our first flight from Perth to Bali since March 2020.”
“Demand for our new services is very pleasing with many flights filling fast, and we will continue to review opportunities to increase services in the future to match this pent-up demand,” she said.
Perth Airport CEO, Kevin Brown, said it was fantastic to see another airline partner return.
“Pre-Covid, AirAsia was offering three daily services to Bali Denpasar, and we are looking forward to working with the airline to increase its services in the coming months as more people seek out a winter travel escape and reconnect with Perth’s favourite tropical island destination.”
AirAsia is now operating flights on the Bali-Perth and Perth-Bali routes four times a week every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, with plans to add additional services in the near future.
AirAsia urges all guests to ensure that they meet the travel requirements according to the latest conditions set by each destination.
Guests flying to Bali, Indonesia, will be required to show a negative PCR test result taken within 48 hours before departure, download and complete the personal data requirements in the Peduli Lindungi application, and fulfill any other relevant requirements.
