HONG KONG, 13 August 2024: Indonesia AirAsia is expanding its wings in Asia by launching direct daily flights from Bali and Jakarta to Hong Kong. The new routes aim to enhance connectivity between Southeast Asia and Asia.
As the only low-cost carrier providing direct flights from Hong Kong to the popular destinations of Bali(DPS) and Jakarta(CGK), AirAsia will offer our passengers affordable travel options, eliminating the need for transit on these two routes.
