Hong Kong, 9 August 2024 – Indonesia AirAsia, is expanding its wings in Asia by launching direct flights from Bali and Jakarta to Hong Kong. The new routes aim to enhance connectivity between Southeast Asia and Asia.

Based on data from the the Statistics Bureau of Indonesia (BPS), from January to June 2024, foreign tourists from Hong Kong have reached 13,673 visits. This number is nearly 98.5% of the total visits in 2023, which amounted to 13,885.
