Air New Zealand to Launch Bali Flights

Air New Zealand is to launch a twice weekly service between Auckland and Denpasar Airport in Bali, Indonesia.

The Boeing 767-300 service will operate seasonally over the peak demand period of June to October.

Air New Zealand Chief Executive Officer Rob Fyfe says Bali is already a popular destination for Kiwis and the non-stop service will now make it even more accessible.

“Our flight time of eight and a half hours is a significant improvement on the indirect services offered by competitors that can involve long layovers and a total journey time of at least 14 and sometimes more than 24 hours,” Mr Fyfe said. “We’ll be offering our flexible and popular ‘Seats to Suit’ fare structure on the Bali route with great pricing and arrival and departure times to be announced closer to the on-sale date of 23 February.”

The inaugural flight will depart on Wednesday, 20 June 2012, subject to government and regulatory approvals. The Boeing 767-300 has 24 Business Class and 204 Economy Class seats.

Air New Zealand last operated services between Auckland to Bali in the 1990s using a Boeing 767-200 aircraft.
