Major Changes Made At Bali Airport

The domestic terminal of the Bali airport recorded a footfall of more than 1.5 million passengers in January and February 2024, according to a report by The Bali Sun. Ngurah Rai International Airport’s domestic terminal already witnessed journeys of more than 2 million visitors from foreign countries so far in 2024. According to the expectations of the rush of travellers, it is likely that both terminals of the airport will see about 23.6 million passengers this year.

Bali has only one commercial airport and it is the famous Ngurah Rai International Airport. Without any doubt, this place sees a massive crowd of passengers arriving in Bali from both Indonesia and abroad. Flights operate on both domestic and international routes here. Seeing the uptick in visitors and increase in numbers every time, the authorities are doing all things possible to offer convenient experiences to everyone.
