Virgin Australia has relaunched services between Adelaide and Denpasar, creating even more opportunities for South Australians to get travelling this summer.

Taking off on 14 December 2022, the route will offer up to an additional 2,464 seats per week to Bali when operating daily and more than 70,000 extra seats to Bali each year.

To celebrate the route going on sale today, Virgin has dropped Economy Lite sale fares between Adelaide and Denpasar from $399 return with tickets available to book now until 25 September 2022.

South Australian Minister for Tourism, Zoe Bettison said it was terrific to see services to Adelaide from international carriers increase, providing more options for consumers.

“This is another positive step in the return to international travel and a strong show of confidence from Virgin Australia,” Bettison said.

“The State Government is working with Adelaide Airport and airlines to grow capacity and provide greater connections globally, as we aim to recover our once $8.1 billion visitor economy.”

Virgin Australia’s group chief strategy and transformation officer, Alistair Hartley, said the return of the airline’s direct services between Adelaide and Denpasar is a reflection of the growing demand for Bali it has seen since relaunching from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne earlier this year and the debut of Gold Coast services slated in for March 2023.

“Adelaide is incredibly important to Virgin Australia, it’s our sixth largest port by scheduled flights, so we know this will be welcome news for South Australians and the perfect opportunity to get back to the skies with our great value fares and award-winning crew,” he said.

Virgin Australia celebrated the announcement today with a tropical juice bar pop-up in its Adelaide Lounge.

The Adelaide service will be the fifth direct route operated by Virgin Australia connecting Australians to Bali, as Virgin Australia continues to expand its short-haul international footprint with the launch of services to Indonesia (Denpasar), Fiji (Nadi) and New Zealand (Queenstown) this year and Samoa (Apia), and Vanuatu (Port Vila) in March next year.
