Some good news for Bali lovers this morning, with Gold Coast Airport announcing an expansion of its services to the popular holiday hotspot.
Jetstar has today confirmed it’s launching a new route from Coolangatta to Denpasar, with flights to take to the skies from August 11.
The new service will operate every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, adding more than 58,000 low fare seats between the two destinations each year.
“We are thrilled to provide our customers with a low-cost connection between the Gold Coast and Bali, making it more affordable and convenient for travellers to reach the Indonesian holiday island,” Jetstar Group CEO Stephanie Tully said.
“Bali has always been Jetstar’s most popular international destination and it’s not hard to see why with its beautiful beaches and resorts, delicious food, friendly locals, affordability, and proximity to Australia.”
Queensland Airports Limited CEO Amelia Evans said the additional flights would provide customers with more choice.
“Bali is a popular holiday choice for locals, with more than 130,000 passengers travelling between the two destinations in the past two years,” Ms Evans said.
“This is a huge win for our region, making Bali more accessible and providing more options for locals looking to book their next getaway!”
To operate the new route, Jetstar will base two of its newest aircraft, the Airbus A320neo, at Gold Coast Airport.
“This is really positive news as it will also allow Jetstar to use those aircraft to further boost capacity on other key markets such Melbourne, Perth, Cairns and several New Zealand routes,” Ms Evans said.
