Kiwis will now be able to fly non-stop to the popular holiday destination of Bali with the launch of Air New Zealand's service between Auckland and Denpasar Airport.

A Boeing 767-300 will make the trip twice a week over the peak demand period of June to October – and if there’s sufficient demand it could be extended to all year round.

Air New Zealand chief executive Rob Fyfe says the non-stop service will make the popular now make it even more accessible.

"Our flight time of eight-and-a-half hours is a significant improvement on the indirect services offered by competitors that can involve long layovers and a total journey time of at least 14 and sometimes more than 24 hours."

Fares will go on sale from February 23 and flight times will be announced closer to the time.

The first flight is scheduled for June 20.

The airline last operated services between Auckland to Bali in the 1990s using a Boeing 767-200 aircraft.
