Emirates Bali: A380 flagship to fly daily to Indonesia from June

Emirates, the leading international airline, is celebrating a milestone in Indonesia’s aviation history by deploying its A380 aircraft daily to Bali from June 1, 2023. This will mark the launch of the first scheduled A380 service to Indonesia. The airline is replacing one of its two daily flights to Bali, currently operated by 777-300ER jets, with an A380 in a two-class configuration.

Flight times and connections

The inaugural flight of Emirates’ A380 (flight EK368) departs Dubai International Airport (DXB) at 3:25 a.m. local time and lands at Denpasar International Airport (DPS) at 4:35 p.m. The return flight (flight EK369) departs Bali at 7:40 pm and arrives in Dubai at 0:45 am. All times are local times.

Successful cooperation and popularity of Bali

Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ chief commercial officer, praised the close cooperation with Balinese aviation authorities and underscored the importance of Bali as one of the most sought-after vacation destinations in Emirates’ global network. The airline launched its first nonstop flight from Dubai to Bali in 2015, complementing flights to Jakarta that started back in 1992.

Flight connections and partnerships

To date, Emirates has operated over 49,000 flights to Indonesia and carried more than nine million passengers between Indonesia and Dubai. Currently, Emirates offers 28 weekly flights to Bali and Jakarta, as well as onward service to 29 local destinations through partnerships with Garuda Indonesia and Batik Air.
