Jetstar has confirmed that it will increase
capacity between Adelaide and Bali, Indonesia.
The airline has decided to operate the popular
route with its most fuel-efficient aircraft, the A321LRneo, which
will start flying between the two cities on 21 July 2023.
The aircraft has up to 46 more seats than the
Airbus A320 which is currently flying the route, boosting capacity
by 25% and adding around 58,000 more low fares on the
ever-popular route.
The A321LRneo also features a quieter cabin, wider
seats, bigger overhead bins, inflight USB charging and seat-back
device holders.
“Bali has always been Jetstar’s most popular
international destination and it’s not hard to see why with its
beautiful beaches, delicious food, friendly locals, affordability,
and proximity to Australia,” said Jetstar Group CEO, Stephanie
Tully. “We’re proud to be flying the newest aircraft in our fleet
– the A321LRneo – between Adelaide and Denpasar from mid-July,
opening up more seats so that more customers can access our low
fares each year. We greatly appreciate the ongoing support of
Adelaide Airport as we continue to grow our presence in the South
Australian aviation market.”
Jetstar’s fleet of A321LRneo aircraft is
continuing to grow, with the fifth plane due to touch down early
next month from the Airbus factory in Germany. In total, the
aircraft manufacturer is scheduled to deliver 18 planes by the
middle of 2024.
Two of Jetstar’s A321LRneo will be permanently
based in Adelaide from mid-year, flying to Bali as well as
domestic destinations.
“South Australians’ love affair with Bali
continues, with Indonesia once again our biggest international
destination,” said Brenton Cox, Adelaide Airport Managing
Director. “We’re delighted that two of Jetstar’s newest aircraft
will now be based in Adelaide providing next generation aircraft
product for South Australians.”
