The airline also launched a new flight to the Chinese city of Guangzhou, with both flights to be operated by AirAsia associate Thai AirAsia.

"It is good news for both our business and leisure guests and we anticipate strong demand for this new route and look forward to building greater ties with the people in Bali," he said.
Mr Bijleveld added that the flight would cause an increase in the number of passengers arriving into Bangkok from Bali and Jakarta.
