SHOCKWAVES from the second round of Bali bombings on October 1 are still reverberating, as Australian Airlines today said it would suspend some of its services to Bali from 10 November.

Australian Airlines Chief Executive Andrea Staines said services to Bali from both Perth and Melbourne would be suspended until 29 January.

“We have taken this decision in line with the decrease in demand for Bali following the bombings on 1 October,” Ms Staines said. “However, we are confident Australians will return to Bali in increased numbers as they have done in the past.

“We will continue to monitor demand and will increase capacity accordingly.”

Ms Staines said Australian Airlines currently operates seven weekly services from Australia to Bali.

“From 10 November, we will suspend our two weekly services between Perth and Bali and two weekly services between Melbourne and Bali,” she said.

“Australian Airlines will continue to operate three services each week between Sydney and Bali.”

Ms Staines said customers with reservations on cancelled Australian Airlines flights would be accommodated on other services.

The twice-weekly return Qantas service between Darwin and Denpasar will operate as normal.
