Garuda plans to open direct flights to Bali from US, France, India to boost tourism

The direct flights will connect Bali with American cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco and Indian cities like Mumbai and New Delhi as well as France. The airline is currently in talks with the State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Ministry and the Tourism and Creative Economy Ministry regarding the plan, according to Garuda president director Irfan Setiaputra.


This is very aspirational upon their part. They tried to re-launch LAX a few years ago but could not get beyond rights from Japan. Even with a stop over, this is a very long thin route. If any of these routes are launched, I am guessing they may use their A330 NEO.
