with limited, or even no direct services to Bali, to learn that another airline is reportedly starting services around the middle of the year, flying the Perth - Bali route.
This is in addition to Garuda, Jetstar, Virgin Blue and Air Asia Indonesia, with Skywest also saying that they will commence Bali services later this year.
The new player is Strategic Airlines, who I believe purchased the rights when they bought Ozjet after the disasterous Indojet fiasco.
It will be interesting to see how this new player positions itself against the others, and also interesting to see if this route has now reached saturation point.
