Australian network update

SYDNEY, 15 May 2026 - Due to current operating conditions, AirAsia has made the difficult decision to suspend services between Melbourne (MEL) and Denpasar (DPS), and Adelaide (ADL) and Denpasar (DPS).

Captain Achmad Sadikin Abdurachman, General Manager of Indonesia AirAsia, said the decision was not made lightly, but the current operating environment has made these routes no longer viable. 

“This decision has been made in response to the sustained increase in global jet fuel prices caused by the ongoing geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East. This operating environment has led to the need to refocus our network on routes that remain operationally viable at this time,” he said.

“AirAsia understands the suspension impacts long-made travel plans and we apologise for the inconvenience this decision has caused, and we want to thank our guests for their support and understanding.”

The airline's teams are contacting affected customers directly, detailing the options available. Where possible, AirAsia is committed to getting guests to their destination either through date changes, or via its Kuala Lumpur hub. 

The last flight operating between Melbourne to Denpasar and Adelaide to Denpasar will be on 18 June 2026. The impacted services are operated by Indonesia AirAsia.
