The cut-price Darwin to Singapore Jetstar airfares come at the same time Virgin Airlines has gone head-to-head with Jetstar with its three-times-a-week Darwin to Bali return service from April 10.

Virgin’s service is seasonal between April 10 and October 20 and will add more than 1000 seats per week into this market.

Flights between Darwin and Bali went on sale with all-inclusive airfares available from $199 one-way.

Virgin has given itself a competitive edge on the Bali route, with the flights leaving Darwin at 9pm and arriving in Bali at 10.20pm.

The return flight is 3.45pm arriving in Darwin at 8pm.

Tourism Minister Lauren Moss said the additional seasonal flights were a show of confidence in the Territory and strengthened the links between Singapore and Darwin.

“This response to increased demand is further proof we are growing visitation through the tourism stimulus investment with more international holiday visitors getting on planes to the Territory,” she said.

“I met with Jetstar Asia in October to continue discussions about growing their services to Darwin and they have listened and responded.”
