April 14th, 2025. At the latter end of June, Indonesia AirAsia will be launching services between Bali and Adelaide. This will be the first flight Indonesia AirAsia has operated out of Adelaide.
“While we all know Bali is a number one holiday destination for Australians, we are also connecting South Australia to the world of AirAsia with over 130 destinations across Asia and beyond, using Bali as a key hub to look to fly somewhere different at great value prices,“ said Veranita Yosephine, CEO of Indonesia AirAsia.
“At the same time, Adelaide will now be on the map as a new location for the many millions of AirAsia guests who fly with us each year which they can connect to via Bali. South Australia has so many unique local tourism highlights including diverse arts, incredible landscapes, beaches, world-renowned vineyards, culture, shopping and food.”
