Most recently, on Thursday, Bali's Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport received additional flight of Qantas Airlines serving the Melbourne-Denpasar route.
"Since the international flight corridor at Bali Airport has been reopened, the number of airlines has gradually increased. Yesterday, Qantas Airlines also made its maiden flight. We enthusiastically welcome this 12th airline flight," General Manager of PT Angkasa Pura (AP) I International Airport I. Gusti Ngurah Rai Bali Herry A. Y. Sikado stated here on Friday.

"This is supported by the ease of flight requirements based on government regulations. Hence, we along with the stakeholders must maintain the trust of the government and service users, so that all facilities and health protocols run well," he remarked.
