AirAsia to launch Bali-Mumbai route

AirAsia is launching a new route connecting Bali and Indian metropolis, Mumbai.

The AirAsia X Indonesia service will kick off on May 19, operating seven times per week, using an Airbus A330-300 with 377 seats, 12 of which will be flatbed. Flights are already available for booking. 

The route won’t be direct—there will be a stopover in KL, AirAsia’s hub, for 65 minutes.

Dendy Kurniawan, AirAsia Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Indonesia operations, says the Mumbai flight was added in response to an increasing demand amongst Indian tourists to holiday in Bali.

The Indian and Chinese markets are two of the fastest growing, after all.

The Mumbai service won’t be AirAsia’s only new route out of Indonesia. AirAsia Indonesia is also opening up a Jakarta to Macau flight starting August 7 later this year, beginning with three scheduled flights per week.
