Emirates resumes direct flights to Bali

Dubai-based airline revives service to Indonesian island with five flights a week

Emirates is once again operating flights from Dubai to Bali, Indonesia, following a suspension of the service since 2020 due to the pandemic. 

For the first time in more than two years, Emirates flight EK398 landed at Denpasar International Airport (DPS) at 22:20 on 1 May. The airline’s return was marked by a water cannon salute, and its crew and passengers were welcomed at the airport with a traditional Balinese joged bumbung dance performance. There was also a cake-cutting ceremony in the presence of representatives from DPS Airport.
