Yes , We'd LOVE to have more carriers from Adelaide to Bali to create some competition. But unfortunately you have to have the numbers to justify an additional carrier. ALL airlines know what the loadings of competitors are out of each airport. Adelaide can only sustain one Carrier (Virgin). On my last 4 trips back from Denpasar the aircraft was only 2/3rds loaded. How long will Virgin continue to provide this service for us. Garuda have alredy said "Privately" they will not be returning to Adelaide - for direct flights - until at least two other carriers are fully committed. Sorry.
