Virgin Australia launches Adelaide-Bali flights from today
Virgin Australia today launches direct flights from Adelaide to Bali, offering South Australians
more choice to the popular holiday destination.
Daily flights will operate during the peak season, providing a direct, convenient and
competitive option for South Australians keen for a Bali getaway. The year-round service will
offer 2,464 seats in peak weeks and more than 70,000 seats a year between the two
destinations.
The service departs Adelaide at 5.50pm and arrives in Bali at 8.40pm. The return flight will
depart at 10.50pm and arrive in Adelaide at 6.20am.
Adelaide Airport Managing Director, Brenton Cox said the airport was delighted to welcome
Virgin Australia flights to Bali.
“We’re into the very busy peak holiday period over Christmas / New Year and we know there
is significant pent-up demand for South Australians wanting to head to holiday destinations
such as Bali for the first time in three years,” Mr Cox said.
“It’s exciting to see the launch of this route as part of wider strong growth in our international
markets.”
Virgin Australia Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer Alistair Hartley said the new
services provided customers with more options on the popular leisure route.
“Virgin Australia’s Adelaide-Bali service creates more value and choice for travellers and is
great news for South Australians,” Mr Hartley said.
“This is a year-round service that will operate daily in the peaks and continue three times per
week in the off season.
“We are excited to see this service take-off, representing the latest step in our growing short-
haul international footprint.”
It comes ahead of direct flights between Adelaide and Tasmania resuming this week, with
Adelaide-Launceston services taking off from 15 December and Adelaide-Hobart services
resuming the following day.
Virgin Australia is currently operating more flights through Adelaide than pre-COVID-19, with
December capacity through Adelaide Airport sitting at 118 per cent of the comparable period
in 2019.
The airline will operate 175 services through Adelaide each week during the Christmas
period, with up to 10 services per day between Adelaide and Melbourne, and five per day
between Adelaide and Brisbane and Sydney.
