Jetstar has two new aircraft that will start operating flights from Adelaide to the popular holiday destination of Bali from Friday.
The “longer-range NEO” planes were announced for Adelaide earlier this year and arrived at the city’s airport on Thursday.
The company says their arrivals will mean about 58,000 extra seats for the Adelaide to Bali route annually.

The additional seats have also brought down airfares from Adelaide to Bali to $200 for select travel dates, a company spokesperson said.
One of the planes, the A321neo LR, is being touted as Jetstar’s newest and most fuel-efficient aircraft with 46 more seats compared to the Airbus A320, which currently flies the route.
Jetstar says the NEO also features a quieter cabin, wider seats, bigger overhead bins, in-flight USB charging and seat-back device holders.
Jetstar Group CEO, Stephanie Tully, said the additional new aircraft would allow Jetstar to fly over 250,000 customers a year between Adelaide and Denpasar.
“Bali has always been Jetstar’s most popular international destination, and it’s not hard to see why with its beautiful beaches, delicious food, friendly locals, affordability, and proximity to Australia,” she said.
“We’re proud to be flying the newest aircraft in our fleet — the A321neo LR — between Adelaide and Denpasar from mid-July, opening up more seats so that more customers can access our low fares each year.”
