Whilst it is great to hear Garuda are slowing getting back into the Australian market after being hit hard by the Covid 19 pandemic the airline has yet to announce their intentions whether to return to Australian shores across most capital cities with their extensive Bali services prior to Covid. At Aussiejetsetter we will be sure to keep you updated on any further announcements on the wide scale resumption of Garuda Australia to Bali flights!
