Indonesia AirAsia to fly between Adelaide and Denpasar from 25 June 2025

South Australian holiday makers will soon have more choice of airlines flying to Bali with Indonesia AirAsia announcing it will commence flying between Adelaide and Denpasar from 25 June this year. Indonesia AirAsia will introduce four flights a week to the Indonesian holiday destination using the 180-seat A320-200 aircraft, creating more than 74,000 visitor seats per year through Adelaide Airport. 

Flights on the new route are on sale from today starting from just AUD199*.  They will depart Adelaide every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and return every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

This is the first time Indonesia AirAsia has operated a service out of Adelaide. The flights from Bali will connect to many popular destinations across the AirAsia Group network of over 130 destinations across Asia and beyond. 

Veranita Yosephine, CEO Indonesia AirAsia said:  “We are thrilled to touch down in Adelaide and South Australia soon for the very first time.  Australia is one of our most important growth markets with the recent addition of Cairns and Darwin to our network as well as Perth. 

“While we all know Bali is a number one holiday destination for Australians, we are also connecting South Australia to the world of AirAsia with over 130 destinations across Asia and beyond, using Bali as a key hub to look to fly somewhere different at great value prices.

“At the same time Adelaide will now be on the map as a new location for the many millions of AirAsia guests who fly with us each year which they can connect to via Bali. South Australia has so many unique local tourism highlights including diverse arts, incredible landscapes, beaches, world renowned vineyards, culture, shopping and food. 

“Our FlyThru international connecting services from Adelaide to Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Bangkok and Phuket via Bali mean you can reach your destination on the same day seamlessly without needing to transfer luggage or check in for the second flight to get there. Other Aussie favourite destinations in Japan, South Korea, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia and many more are now within affordable reach for South Australians’ on the vast AirAsia Group network and we look forward to welcoming you all on board soon.

“We wish to thank Adelaide Airport, the Government of South Australia and Tourism South Australia for helping to make these new services a reality.”

Brenton Cox, Managing Director Adelaide Airport said:  “Bali is the most popular destination for South Australian travellers, and there is significant pent-up demand for flights at affordable prices. 

 “We’re excited that Indonesia AirAsia has recognised this opportunity and added Adelaide services to its growing network. 

 “Indonesia AirAsia will provide greater choice for travellers as Adelaide’s first non-stop Asia-based low-cost carrier since 2015. This also opens up each way, low cost one- and two-stop options via AirAsia’s formidable network throughout Southeast Asia and beyond including from Korea, Japan and India.

 “Development of affordable travel is vital to the growth of our market and to achieving our ambitious network targets.”

Vedi Kurnia Buana, Indonesian Consul General in Sydney commented: “We are delighted to welcome the launch of AirAsia Indonesia’s new direct route connecting Bali and Adelaide. This initiative not only provides more options for Australian travelers to experience the beauty of Bali and other destinations in Indonesia but also invites Indonesian travelers to explore the remarkable landmarks and rich heritage of South Australia. 

“We appreciate AirAsia Indonesia’s commitment to supporting tourism growth and economic opportunities in both countries. This new route will enhance tourist arrivals, strengthen connectivity, and open broader opportunities for collaboration across various sectors. I hope this route will be warmly embraced by the people of South Australia and Indonesia, and we are ready to support the success of this inaugural flight.”
