DPS Bali

How deep the DPS board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from DPS. This reads the same 61 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 32of the 61 destinations are flown by one airline
• 16destinations run less than once a day
• 11destinations have four or more departures a day
• 18%of the destinations name Jetstar, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at DPS

56 airlines appear on the DPS board and they do not hold it evenly. Jetstar is on 11 of the 61 destinations, 18 per cent of them, and on 5 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 56.3 of the 211.1 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Garuda Indonesia on 9 destinations. 39 of the 56 airlines at DPS appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

No airline holds more than 18 per cent of the destinations here, which is the more comfortable shape of the two. A cancellation at a spread airport is usually a rebooking rather than a lost day, provided the sector itself carries more than one operator, and 32 of the 61 sectors at DPS do not.

How much of the DPS board is daily

Of the 61 destinations, 45 are flown at least once a day and 16 are not, 2 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the DPS board is flown about once a day.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: DPS to Seletar (XSP) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 88.3 of the 211.1 departures a day, 41.8 per cent of the whole board. The other 56 destinations are spread widely enough that a courier who misses the first departure at DPS usually has somewhere else to look on the same board.

The ten destinations out of DPS where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 6 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from DPS

The desk holds the return direction for 40 of the 61 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into DPS runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Beijing (PKX) at 0.57 out a day against 0.32 back, Abu Dhabi (AUH) at 2.3 out a day against 1.3 back and Hanoi (HAN) at 1 out a day against 0.71 back.

It runs the other way as well: Ujung Pandang-Celebes Island (UPG) files 5.9 a day back into DPS against 4 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at DPS

DPS keeps Asia/Makassar time, four hours ahead of Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 13:00 at DPS, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for five hours. A customs question raised in the last four hours of the Dubai afternoon reaches nobody at DPS until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at DPS

DPS does not close. The note the desk holds for it, checked 2026-09-07, reads: The airport closes for 24 hours once a year for Nyepi, the Balinese day of silence, in March or April; the date moves with the Balinese calendar. No flights operate and nothing moves on the island.

3 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Sydney (SYD) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from DPS that lands inside it leaves around 14:56, on a modelled block of 6h 04m. Into Adelaide (ADL) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from DPS that lands inside it leaves around 16:28, on a modelled block of 5h 02m. Into Tokyo (NRT) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from DPS that lands inside it leaves around 14:45, on a modelled block of 7h 15m. Those three departure times out of DPS are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where DPS turns up on the rest of this site

DPS carries two other pages on this site as well: the Indonesia country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport and the DPS transit page for the connecting case, where a courier changes aircraft here rather than starting or finishing.

The site publishes 33 airport pair pages that start or end at DPS, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Bali to Jakarta (CGK), Bali to Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Bali to Surabaya (SUB).

Three of the 346 published hand carry lanes run through this airport: Bali to Singapore, Bali to Sydney and Dubai to Bali. A lane page is the commercial version of the board above, with the customs, the ground legs and the price at DPS written out.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with DPS already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 61 destinations above.
