irAsia Indonesia is set to open a new international route connecting Bali capital Denpasar and Vietnams’ central coastal city of Da Nang starting on March 20, marking the budget carrier’s seventh international route from its local operating hub in the island province.
Operated exclusively by AirAsia, the new route is aimed at strengthening tourism connectivity across Southeast Asia.
Achmad Sadikin Abdurachman, acting president director of AirAsia Indonesia, said the new route would provide travelers with greater flexibility and convenience.
“With Vietnam joining AirAsia’s existing connections across Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Australia, travelers now have more options when planning regional travel,” Sadikin said in a statement on Wednesday.
He added that the Denpasar-Da Nang route would also enhance the connectivity between Indonesia and Vietnam, including through fly-thru services to Da Nang from Jakarta and Labuan Bajo on Flores Island in East Nusa Tenggara via Denpasar.
The service will operate four times per week, with one return flight per operating day.
The launch adds to AirAsia Indonesia’s expanding international network from Bali, which includes routes to Australia’s Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne, also scheduled to begin on March 20.
