After going through multiple Indonesian Airline Company Batik Air is all set to launch two daily flights from Perth to Bali route in the coming month of June 2017. This could be a massive game changer for the tourists as the prices are rumored to be very competitive and cheap compared to other current flights.
Batik Air confirmed that the flight service route is expected to start on June 21. The statement was issued by the Andy Saladin, Public Relation Manager from Lion Air Group which is the parent company of Batik Air.
“Full service Batik Air will open a new Denpasar to Perth flight twice-daily starting June 21,” Mr Saladin said. Batik runs its operations through Boeng 737s and Airbus A320s with 31 domestic destinations and Singapore as international destination.
Batik Air has recently received the approval to fly and start its operation in Europe. It has also cleared the stringent IATA Operational Safety Audit on November 17.
The expected timing of the flights are to depart at 8:30 Am & 6:20 Pm from Perth and to arrive back at 4.30pm and 12.20am. Both flights are to be operated by 737-900ERs with 172 seats..
We look forward to Batik to start these operations and wish them good luck as this new route is going to be a game changer for the flight prices and could potentially increase the tourism further.
