Australian Airlines to fly Perth-Bali

JAKARTA: Australian Airlines, Qantas' budget Asian arm,
announced on Friday that it would begin flying twice a week
between Perth and Bali starting in December.

Australian Airlines chief executive Andrea Staines said the
airline would offer 542 seats each week from Perth to Bali using
its all-Economy Class Boeing 767-300 aircraft, almost doubling
the number of seats offered by the Qantas Group on this route.

Staines said the airlines' two weekly flights on Thursdays and
Saturdays were conveniently timed with afternoon departures from
and arrival into Perth. These flights are subject to government
approval.

Qantas will continue to operate on Tuesdays only until Feb. 1
next year when it will withdraw its services. --JP
