AirAsia’s promotional free seats for its first Australian destination to be serviced from Indonesia with direct daily flights were snapped up within hours after its official sales announcement. The seats were offered in conjunction with the opening of the new route and were limited and available on first-come, first-served basis, said the low-cost carrier in a statement Tuesday. The new route is serviced by AisAsia Indonesia, an associate of AirAsia, and is the fifth international route operated from the Bali hub after Kuala Lumpur, Johor Baharu, Bangkok and Singapore.
It will strengthen Bali’s position as AirAsia’s second hub after Jakarta in Indonesia.
“Bali is the driving force behind Indonesia’s tourism economy and it corresponds to our testament in supporting the Indonesian government’s efforts to boost tourism and promote it as a gateway to other provinces in Indonesia,” said AirAsia Indonesia’s chief executive officer Dharmadi. The airline will fly daily from Denpasar to Perth and it expects to encourage more tourists into Bali. New Airbus A320 aircraft will serve the new route as the distance will require a maximum four hours of flight. Currently, AirAsia has a network with 122 routes covering more than 65 destinations.
