Strategic Airlines will tomorrow become Australia's newest international air carrier, with the first flight for the Company's new service from Perth to Bali.

More than 150 Perth passengers will board the Airbus A320 for the maiden flight to Bali tomorrow morning, marking the Airline's first foray into the international commercial market.

The Perth-Bali service, which will be running three times a week, will provide additional choice for air travel to one of the most popular destinations for Perth holiday makers.

Strategic Airlines’ Head of Commercial Damien Vasta said the new flights between Perth and Bali now offer travellers the option of a full-service product from a wholly Australian owned and operated carrier - a combination that has not been available until now.

“We’re incredibly proud to be able to offer this option to travellers and we remain firmly focussed on returning a high level of service to the skies, Mr Vasta said.

“We are providing a new choice, with an affordable, full service flight to Perth’s favourite holiday destination. The new service has already been well received by travellers with many of our initial flights being fully booked.”

Strategic is an Australian owned and operated full-service airline, with its head office located in Brisbane. For the past nine years it has operated and grown as a charter airline, but has recently expanded its domestic commercial route network. This included the launch of its commercial service from Perth to Derby, catering for fly-in fly-out (FIFO) customers in the resources sector. Strategic will also commence direct flights from both Brisbane and Melbourne to Port Hedland in August this year, providing the Pilbara with greater access to the east coast of Australia.
