Virgin Australia has celebrated the departure of its inaugural Canberra-Bali service, marking the airline’s first-ever international flight from the nation’s capital.
The services will operate three times per week, adding more than 40,000 seats annually between Australia and the island hotspot.
The new route will also further strengthen Virgin Australia’s extensive Bali network, which now offers more than half a million seats each year from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Canberra.
The service also enhances connectivity between Australia and Bali through convenient interstate connections via Canberra while also providing regional communities bordering the capital new options to holiday overseas without needing to travel via Sydney or Brisbane.
To mark the milestone, the airline has launched a sale with fares from Canberra to Bali (Denpasar) available from $449* return (Economy Lite).
The sale is available to book here until 11:59pm (AEST) June 26 (unless sold out prior), for selected travel dates between July 28 and May 24, 2027.
Libby Minogue, Virgin Australia Chief Marketing and Customer Operations Officer, said the new route was an important step in growing the airline’s network and providing greater connectivity for travellers.
“With more than 40,000 seats a year now available to book between Canberra and Bali, and more than half a million seats annually across our broader Bali network, the new service is creating more choice and connectivity for travellers while making it easier than ever to reach Bali.
“We’ve already seen a strong response from customers, which reinforces the demand for direct international services from Canberra.
“This route not only gives Canberrans and surrounding regional communities a more convenient way to travel overseas, it will also help drive inbound visitation and economic activity for the ACT by making it easier for international visitors to experience everything Canberra has to offer.”
Virgin Australia Canberra-Bali services will be operated using the airline’s Boeing 737-800 aircraft, offering business class, premium extra legroom economy X seating and economy class options.
Canberra-Bali services will operate seasonally, with Virgin Australia able to increase frequency during peak travel periods, subject to demand.
