Garuda Indonesia to increase flight frequency

DENPASAR (indo.com): National flag carrier Garuda Indonesia will increase its flight frequency from Denpasar to Perth, Australia in an anticipation of the rising number of Australian visitors to Bali.

Bali Discovery magazine said that an increase of 2,404 visitors to Bali from Western Australia in the first quarter of 2004 has prompted Garuda Indonesia to increase its flight frequency.

The airline will offer additional 5,483 seats and 33 flights between the two destinations. The additional seats and flight frequency will be effective between June 18 and August 1, 2004.

The increase in the number of Australian travelers to Bali is partly due to the strengthening of Australian dollar against the rupiah. Bali remains the most favorite holiday destination for Australians.

Besides, many hotels in Bali now offer competitive hotel rates and many outstanding restaurants also offer food and beverage at affordable prices.

Many travel agents sell 7 packages, including flights, taxes, accommodation and a full breakfast starting from only AU$ 780.

Garuda Indonesia will take advantage of the increasing demand from the flight service.
