Air New Zealand will operate a second season of Auckland to Bali services next year in response to demand.
A Boeing 767-300 aircraft will operate twice weekly non-stop Auckland – Denpasar services from June 1 to October 15 – three weeks longer than the 2012 season.
Air New Zealand group general manager Australasia Bruce Parton said figures for this winter show a 38% increase in Kiwis travelling to the island compared with the 2011 winter.
"Our direct service to Denpasar is a hassle free and considerably quicker alternative to options offered by other carriers.
"More than a third of our seats to Bali for the 2012 season sold within the first week, so we’re expecting them to be incredibly popular once again," Parton said.
