United Arab Emirates (UAE) flag carrier Emirates has operated its first flight to Bali, Indonesia on the Airbus A380 marking a milestone in the country's aviation history.
The double-decker Airbus A380 will replace one of the two daily services to Bali currently operated on the Boeing 777-300ER.
”The deployment of our iconic A380 aircraft on flights to Denpasar will significantly contribute to serving the increased customer demand. We’re pleased to achieve this milestone that will greatly strengthen our operations in Indonesia, as well as future commercial plans for the market.” Mohammad Al Attar, Emirates Country Manager for Indonesia.
Emirates first launched direct daily services from Dubai to Bali in 2015. The carrier serves Indonesia with 28 weekly flights to Bali and Jakarta and offers increased connectivity to 29 more domestic cities through partnership agreements with Garuda Indonesia and Batik Air.
