Any Other airlines to fly PER-DPS?

[Deskorpio]

Hello,
I know this is a long shot , but does anyone know when Airasia or Virgin will resume their PER-DPS flights?

JQ from April and appears Indonesia Air Asia (shudder) recommences on 1 Jun.

There are still Virgin and Scoot flights but both are one stop.

Seems flights are about $150-200 one way on JQ outside peak periods and that is cheaper than QZ (who I personally would not fly on).

Thank you Scarlett!

IIRC VA weren't flying PER - DPS prior to Covid. They abandoned that route years ago.

I think Garuda operated that route, but currently they are only operating SYD - DPS currently

Citilink may well return soon too

Malindo might be a possibility too

It’ll be Jetstar plus the Indonesian airlines. Virgin dumped it a long time ago. I think they still did Port Hedland to Bali but that seems like a long shot to return.

You’ll get Jetstar, Citilink and Air Asia Indonesia. Probably Garuda. Plus whatever the Indonesian Malindo is. Was that Batik?

 

[Scarlett]

Batik (full service carrier based in Indonesia) was indeed effectively the same as Malindo (based in Malaysia). Both part of the Lion Air group.

Malindo was interesting: were they targeting the KUL-PER vv market or the PER-DPS vv market? Or hoping for a bit of both? Or just a semi-convenient refuel stop? I wonder how they were doing on that KUL-DPS-PER route?

Batik flew PER-DPS while Malindo flew PER-KUL direct

From memory their services from KUL to Australia via Bali were to the east coast (MEL, BNE?) not PER.

Thanks folks. Just checked and indeed Malindo announced (flew?) to SYD and ADL from KUL via DPS.

It won't be Garuda, it'll likely be Garuda's LCC 'CitiLink' on behalf of the Garuda group.

Garuda mainline will be concentrating on SYD only for the short term. Currently flights are operating as a SYD-DPS-CGK-SYD triangle (basically 2 flights merged into one).

Looking at Saturday’s in November for example, it’s still available for booking. Obviously that means nothing these days with things changing all the time, but interesting it’s still appearing for sale. You’d think if they had no intention of resuming the route, it would be taken off sale completely.

Citilink may well return soon too

Looks like PER-Indonesia has become LCC/Value Carrier Central, just like the pre-COVID days (when GA replaced their full-service mainline with Citilink LCC service)

The only carrier providing J class is the Value Orientated Carrier: Batik Air Indonesia with J recliners, with Batik Air Malaysia mostly providing a combination of all-Y 737-8s and 2-class 737-800s.
