Bali may receive direct charters from Russia in 2019
In 2019, Garuda Indonesia is going to launch direct flights Moscow - Denpassar 3 times a week. The head of the air carrier visited Moscow for negotiations on the launch of the route.
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Republic of Indonesia In Russia, Mr. Vahida Supriyadi thinks that Garuda will open flights Moscow - Bali in late spring - early summer 2019. If Russia leaves direct flights to Denpassar in the summer, scheduled flights to Indonesia will double, and price competition will reduce ticket prices to Bali.
The launch of the Garuda flight in the summer from Indonesia is justified, as Bali is a year-round destination. In Coral Travel believe that direct transportation increases demand: the volume of sales of tours to Bali from the tour operator since the launch of the direct flight of Russia has doubled in annual terms.
We want to note the growing activity of Russian tour operators in the Indonesian direction, first of all, the tour operator Coral Travel, following the growth in demand. We know that this major tour operator is now considering launching a direct charter flight to Bali this year, Supriyadi said.
Experts believe that possible Coral Travel charters in Bali could be delivered from a major regional hub in winter. Existing volumes of transportation to Bali from Moscow with direct flights of Russia and convenient connecting flights of Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airwais and Emirates meet the demand.
According to observers, Coral Travel can deliver charters in the winter of 2019 from one of the largest regional centers of Russia.
In the winter of 2017, CoralTravel put charters to Bali from Yekaterinburg, flights were loaded, but the program was curtailed due to the eruption of the Agung volcano.
In 2018, the tourist flow between Russia and Indonesia amounted to 125 thousand people (an increase of 7% compared to 2017). 85-90% of these Russians were in Bali.
Indonesia is going to distribute in Russia other tourist destinations under the concept of “Ten New Bali”: Lombok Island, Yogyakarta on the island of Java, northern Sumatra and the islands of Bintan and Batan.
