etstar Asia has resumed flight services between Singapore and Denpasar in Bali after a break of more than two years, as Flight No. 3K243 took off from Singapore at 6:55 a.m. and landed in Bali at 9:55 a.m.
Jetstar Asia is the first airline in the Jetstar Group to recommence flights to the popular holiday destination, with Jetstar Airways scheduled to start operations from Melbourne and Sydney to Bali on March 14 and 15, respectively, Jetstar Asia announced in a press release on Friday.
Jetstar Asia CEO Bara Pasupathi said it was “fantastic” to be back in Bali, one of the most popular destinations in the Jetstar network. Jetstar Asia says it plans to operate services to 11 destinations in Southeast Asia and Australia.
“Bali has always been a customer favorite with its beautiful beaches, amazing food and incredible culture,” Pasupathi said.
Alluding to key obstacles as Bali strives to revive tourism, the CEO added: "We’ve recently welcomed the news regarding the easing of quarantine requirements and the move from PCR tests to the less-costly ART, which have been a significant barrier to travel for many of our customers.”
Air carriers have relaunched international flight services to Bali after the Indonesian government reallowed the island province to receive such flights starting last month. National air carrier Garuda Indonesia landed an international flight from Tokyo on Feb. 3 and Singapore Airlines landed another from Singapore on Feb. 16.
