Qatar Airways has officially landed a flight at the international terminal of Bali Ngurah Rai Airport on Sunday (27/3) for the first time since 2020.
The General Manager of Angkasa Pura I for Bali Airport, Herry AY Sikado, confirmed that Qatar Airways has resumed its international routes and has begun transporting passengers to Bali Airport.
“Qatar Airways landed a flight in Bali on Sunday (27/3) at 5:31 pm after departing from Doha, transporting 222 passengers,” Sikado said on Sunday.
Sikado also said that Qatar Airways is scheduled to provide air travel services four times every week.
“Our airport officials conducted a water salute as an expression of gratitude upon the plane’s arrival. Now, we have a total of 6 international routes: Japan, Singapore, Syndey, Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur and Doha,” Sikado added.
Sikado was optimistic that Bali would receive additional flights from other international airlines as the government keeps removing travel restrictions.
