Direct flights between Busan and Bali take off
take off: 이륙하다
Gimhae International Airport is expanding its flight destinations, beginning with a new route to Bali, Indonesia.
Air Busan will operate four flights a week from Gimhae to Denpasar International Airport. Previously, travelers in Busan and the neighboring provinces had to travel to Incheon International Airport or transfer in other countries to reach Bali.
This is the first regular flight longer than 5,000 kilometers to be scheduled outside of the Seoul capital region. A new route will open between Busan and Jakarta later.
In addition to Indonesia, Busan is making efforts to expand routes to other long-haul destinations. The city is in discussions to establish direct flights to Helsinki, Finland; Warsaw, Poland; and the Americas.
These new routes will make it easier for Busan residents to travel to more destinations, attract more inbound tourism and reinvigorate the local tourism industry.
