Garuda Indonesia resumes direct Brisbane Bali flights
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Garuda Indonesia will honour its commitment to the Queensland market by resuming services to Bali, three times a week, in time for the commencement of the Queensland state school summer holidays.
Effective 14 December, GA713 will depart Brisbane every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday morning, arriving in Bali early afternoon. GA712 leaves Bali just before midnight arriving early morning in Brisbane.
Since suspending direct Brisbane Bali flights early last year Garuda has continued to be proactive in restoring the leisure market to Bali including offering user friendly through fares with Virgin Blue.
'It seems that Garuda Indonesia's decision to continue supporting the Queensland market has proven worthwhile as, along with other Australian markets to Bali, it has grown significantly in the last twelve months', said Mr. Poerwoko Soeparyono, Senior General Manager Australia/SWP.
'Bali is well and truly back on the map and we are delighted that, in less than two years, we are able to resume direct services to this popular holiday destination and thus honour our commitment made to Queenslanders in 2007.
As the only full service carrier flying this route, Garuda Indonesia will offer a total of 869 seats per week nonstop to Bali utilising the wide bodied Airbus A330 aircraft.
An announcement will be made shortly regarding Garuda fares and arrangements for passengers, currently booked and ticketed on Garuda flights via Sydney. As usual, Garuda will remain competitive.
The new Brisbane Bali schedules are expected to be accessible in reservations systems within the next few days and are subject to confirmation of slot times.
