SIA to increase fights to Bali

SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines (SIA) will add another daily flight to the Indonesian resort island of Bali to meet a jump in demand after the bomb blast there, the carrier said Monday.

The new flight schedule -- adding to four flights daily -- is effective Monday until Oct. 21 and it will "help meet the current high demand for flights out of Bali," SIA said.

"SIA will waive any airline-related fees for customers who cancel, defer or change their travel plans to Bali," it said.

More than 180 people were killed and more than 300 injured when a huge car bomb destroyed two nightclubs packed with foreign tourists in Bali's Kuta resort area on Saturday night. -- AFP
