Air New Zealand has made a change to its schedule and turned a seasonal route into an all-year-round operation. The carrier will now be flying a minimum of two flights per week to Bali all year long and in peak season ANZ will fly up to seven times a week.
The move aims to provide year-round flight options following an increased demand for the popular holiday hotspot. Air New Zealand Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty said: “Bali has become an increasingly popular destination for Kiwi holidaymakers. With something to offer every type of traveller – from culture to incredible food, surf, relaxation, and adventure – expanding our Bali services made sense.
As the only airline offering a direct connection between Aotearoa and Bali, Kiwis heading off on a Bali break over the summer months no longer need to fly with a stopover. Holidaymakers can book a Bali Christmas or New Year holiday with direct flights to warm weather through the day and long balmy nights.
With more than 800 seats available to Bali each week between November and February there are more options than ever to explore the popular Indonesian islands and all they have to offer.”
April to end of October – between five and seven flights per week
November to mid-February – three flights per week
Mid-February to end of March – two flights per week
