The upgraded service will build upon the success of Emirates’ first-ever A380 service to Indonesia, launched on June 1, 2023, while also driving more inbound traffic to Bali during one of the busiest times of the year and seamlessly connecting travellers from Indonesia to Dubai and beyond through Emirates’ extensive global network.
Emirates continues to reinforce its long-standing commitment to providing world-class travel experiences and supporting Indonesia’s growing travel and tourism sector. By serving Bali with double A380 flights, the airline will offer more than 2,600 additional weekly seats to and from the island to help accommodate the growing demand during the peak travel season.
With this additional service, more passengers to and from Indonesia can enjoy the iconic double-decker’s best-in-class products and services, including its spacious cabins, the exclusive Onboard Lounge, and ice, Emirates’ award-winning inflight entertainment system offering over 6,500 channels of on-demand entertainment.
Emirates launched a non-stop daily service from Dubai to Bali in 2015, adding to its scheduled flights to Jakarta which began in 1992. Emirates flies to more than 144 destinations across six continents and currently offers double daily flights to Jakarta and Bali.
