SYDNEY – Garuda Indonesia will launch a daily service between Bali and Lombok from April 1.
The flight, GA436 will depart Denpasar, Bali at 1835hrs local time and arrive in Lombok at 1915hrs allowing a same day transfer from most Australian services.
The return flight, GA437, will depart Ampenan (Lombok) at 1950hrs and arrive in Bali at 2025hrs, again with ample time to connect to international flights to Australia.
The flight will operate with a Boeing 737-300 series aircraft with 16 Executive Class and 94 Economy Class seats, while a return fare from Bali to Lombok of US$50.
Lombok has been growing in popularity with holiday makers but until now the lack of convenient and reliable access to the island from Bali has inhibited growth.
With the new service addressing these issues and Garuda Orient Holiday’s new “Bali on ANY budget†brochure providing a broad range of accommodation options, Lombok is expected to see a significant upsurge in visitor numbers.
