Garuda Perth increases capacity to Bali
In order to service the needs of West Australia’s strong holiday market to Bali, Garuda Indonesia will step up its seat capacity from Perth to Denpasar from next month, with the move follows a doubling of the airline’s capacity to Indonesia in December last year, when daily services to Jakarta were introduced to supplement the existing daily Bali services.
From 1 March three of these Jakarta services will be redirected to Bali instead, in order to meet the growing demand for the popular holiday destination.
The additional Bali flights will operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with evening departures times from Perth complimenting the daily morning flights and providing even great er choice to Bali vacationers.
The direct Jakarta services depart on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, also with an evening departure time.
The extra inbound flights depart Bali around 11.00pm on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, arriving in the early hours of the following morning. Jakarta flights depart Cengkareng Airport at 9.30pm on Mondays, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, also arriving early hours of the following morning.
While timings will vary slightly, days of operation will remain the same when new Northern Hemisphere Summer Schedules take effect on 25 March.
All services from Perth to Indonesia are operated with a B737-800NG aircraft which, from February, has been newly configured to offer both Executive (Business) class and Economy.
“The re-establishment of a business class product from Perth means that this premium service is now available from all Garuda Indonesia’s Australian ports including Darwin,” says the airline’s Regional Manager, South West Pacific, Mr Suranto Yitnopawiro.
