China Eastern Airlines has resumed direct flights between Beijing and Bali. The first MU889 flight from Daxing Airport arrived in Denpasar on the evening of 11 July. The Airbus A330 brought 287 passengers to the island.
Flights from Beijing will depart on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Return flights from Bali will leave after midnight on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. According to the schedule, departure from Denpasar is at 00:30, with arrival in Beijing at 07:40. The flight in the opposite direction takes around eight hours.
China Eastern flies to Daxing, which has the airport code PKX, and to Beijing’s older Capital Airport, which has the code PEK. Before the pandemic, the airline had already operated direct flights between Beijing and Bali, but at that time it used Capital Airport. The resumed route had been suspended since 2020.
Beijing has become the fifth city in mainland China to be connected with Bali by direct flights. The island can also be reached non-stop from Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xiamen and Chengdu. For Ngurah Rai Airport, Daxing has become its 42nd international destination. At present, 43 airlines operate international flights to Bali.
China remains Bali’s second-largest overseas tourist market. In the first half of 2026, around 297,000 travellers from China visited the island.
