Shenzhen Airlines Flies Guangzhou-Bali Direct
(5/17/2009) A new twice-weekly direct air service flown by Shenzhen Airlines from Guangzhou (Canton) to Bali will cut 7 hours traveling time from the previous 12 hours it took to fly that route. Previously Chinese travelers faced the arduous prospect flying to Bali with an intermediate stop-over in Jakarta, a trip now reduced to only four hours with the launch of the direct flight service.
The new service departs Guangzhou on Tuesdays and Friday at 8:00 p.m. and returns to Guangzhou from Bali on early Wednesday and Saturday mornings at 1:50 a.m..
Mainland Chinese arrivals numbers to Bali continue to soar, increasing year-on-year by 39% at the end of Q1 2009. Chinese travelers to Bali have suddenly soared into third place among all foreign visitors, poised to move into second place in the near future
