There may be more options for South Australians to fly to Bali this coming winter thanks to talks with a new airline.
Discussions are under way between Adelaide Airport and Indonesia AirAsia for direct flights between Denpasar and Adelaide four times a week from late June, reportedly.
There are hopes it could spark a fare war between AirAsia and Jetstar, which currently is the only airline with direct flights to the island paradise.
Virgin suspended its direct flights from Adelaide to Bali last year.
It is understood the paperwork between Adelaide Airport and AirAsia is yet to be signed off, according to 7News Adelaide.
In December, Jetstar announced it was set to offer thousands of cheaper fares and hundreds of new direct flights between Adelaide and Bali next year.
Between late March and October, Jetstar will add more than 55,000 low-cost tickets, and an additional 240 direct flights to their schedule.
Jetstar executive manager Jenn Armor said it was a good time for travellers to plan ahead as the route would be in high demand.
“Bali is as popular as ever for South Australians looking for an affordable and convenient escape,” she said.
