Air Paradise International – Bali’s first international airline -will commence its maiden air service between Bali and Australia on February 16, 2003.

Commenting on the timing of the airline’s re-launch Kadek said
“Now more than ever I firmly believe Bali has a need for its own international airline. An airline that will be dedicated to actively promoting our island to ensure the recovery of Bali’s main source of income – tourism”.
Air Paradise International will use an Airbus A310 - 300 formerly in operation with Singa-pore Airlines, offering a two class configuration of 12 paradise class (business) and 171 economy class seats. Full meal service will be provided, with visual and audio entertainment on board.
