Denpasar, Sept 21 (ANTARA) - Extra flights from Bali's Ngurah Rai airport in the last two days were also provided for international routes, airport security officer Ngurah Jaya said here on Monday.
"On Saturday and Sunday, seven of the 269 international arriving and departing flights were extra ones," Ngurah Jaya said.
He said a total of 1,424 passengers were carried on the extra flights for international destinations.
Ngurah Jaya said on Saturday and Sunday five extra planes arrived with a total of 1,248 overseas passengers at Ngurah Rai airport while two other extra flights departed from the airport with 186 passengers.
In addition, he said there were 85 scheduled inbound flights with 15,430 passengers from abroad in the last two days and 87 outbound flights with 14,870 passengers.
Ngurah Rai airport during the week prior to Idul Fitri (Sept 14-20) served a total of 50 extra flights carrying holiday travelers to domestic destinations.
"Around 6,503 passengers made use of the extra flights to a number of airports in Indonesia," Ngurah Jaya said.
He said the extra flights were intended to carry Idul Fitri holiday travelers and other holiday makers who failed to get seats on scheduled flights.
Ngurah Jaya said the number of domestic tourists arriving in Bali from various cities in Indonesia in the past one week exceeded that of Idul Fitri holiday travelers leaving the resort island for their home villages.

According to him, the extra flights for domestic destinations
were started with the increase of passengers going to their home villages for Idul Fitry holidays.
"The extra flights will also be held until the holiday makers are returning from their hometowns," Ngurah Jaya said.
