Accessibility of Bali by air is quiet good, with international
airport of Ngurah Rai which is located in Tuban town
a small town stretches on west coast of south Bali with
the length around 4 kms between Jimbaran bay at the
south and Kuta city at the north. Before 1990s Tuban
town, Kuta, Legian and Seminyak was known simply as
Kuta, yet the development of resorts, travel facilities,
and residences have made the region into one un-bordered
town, as well as the addition of population has been
so fast, not only new working opportunities that attract
the people but also increasing opportunities of people
to get higher education, so they could enter available
jobs. This new opportunity is including the opening
of various local flight and international air transport.
Travel agencies licensed by IATA then appeared in a
big numbers embracing many workers, as well as skill
workers on the reservation offices of international
airlines. International flight not only on regular scheduled
flight, but also on chartered basis. In 1990s chartered
flight from Germany and Switzerland wee among the most
popular flight such as Ballair and LTU, followed by
the decline of Lauda air. Discounted air fare was offered
by most of the air lines flying to Bali every one from
most countries was easy to find flight to Bali, even
Garuda, the national air line company had the flight
to many countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, and USA.
The biggest flight numbers were from Japan and Australia,
transporting travelers in a great numbers. Local air
transports distributing the travelers to destinations
such as north Sumatra, Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Surabaya,
South Sulawesi, Lombok, Sumbawa and West Papua. Until
2002, before bomb exploded by Islamic terrorist, the
national carrier for domestic flight such as Merpati
Nusantara air line, Sempati air and Bouraq ere flourishing.
Even Merpati Air had the international flight to Australia
with regular schedule. The availability of air transport
to and from Bali was the means to boost the travel business
in Indonesia which effects on economy was so strong.
The increasing level of Indonesian economy was probably
made some groups disappointed and soon made action to
cripple the economy by plotting bomb.
