Qantas will enhance the key Sydney-Bali holiday route to a year-round operation from next March 2017.
The flag carrier sees demand for full-service flights year-round on the popular route, despite stiff competition from low cost carriers.
Flights will operate four days a week using two-class Boeing 737s.
Qantas Group’s budget operator Jetstar will still be the main Australia-Bali carrier with about 60 flights a week.
"The combination of Qantas and Jetstar means we can give our customers the maximum range of options for their visit to Bali. "That’s important for a destination which caters to different budgets and tastes," said Qantas International CEO Gareth Evans.
"We’ve had a fantastic response to Qantas’ seasonal service, especially from our frequent flyers, so we felt the time was right to go year-round. For the past couple of years, we’ve been taking a more agile, flexible approach to our Asian network – responding to growing demand where we see it – and this is the latest example of that strategy in action."
