Bali question

[IMG=18528-4124] According to destination specialists, the volume of air flights to Denpasar since December 25 till January 5 exceeds last year's volume by approximately 700 seats. The situation which occurred before the start of New Year holidays is as follows: about 1500 seats are provided to the market by 4 flights within the framework of charter chain of ‘Transaero’ and ‘domodedovskie airlines’ (Boing-747 and Il-96 accordingly). Many operators take blocks from them. Plus, 400 seats are provided by flights of Tu-214 with GTK ‘Russia’, consolidates by ‘Neva’ company. The total capacity of the destination for New Year is considered to be bigger than 1500 seats (with flight from Moscow). Now there are nearly two thousand. According to experts, interviewed by BANKO, the established power balance upsets the plans of ‘Neva’ that this year preferred to announce its own transportation instead of taking blocks of seats on existing flights. In the end, there is an excess of flights on the market which affected the prices. According to Tatiana Vand, director of ‘Vand International tour’, at the moment the lowest price of air tickets for the 25th of December fell from $1250 to $1050. According to Ksenia Ogienko, director of tourism of UTE Megapolus group, two new planes only perplexes – no one knows who will buy them. According to her, many seats have remained both on Transaero’s Boing-747 (flights on the 25th of December and the 5th of January), and on 96-m Il by ‘Domodedovo airlines’ (flights on the 27th of December 27 and the 3rd of January). ‘In the result, two more flights can force us to sell seats at prime cost. Yana Bakhteyuzova, director of the South-east Asian department of ‘Spectrum’ company noted that there was an excess of flights on the market even without ‘Neva’s flights. In ‘Neva’ the situation is taken calmly. They do not give any comments about loading of their flights and a possible damping, they only confirm the fact of organization of its own charter program.
