Air Paradise International was an airline based in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. It operated services to destinations in Australia, South Korea and Taiwan. Its main base was Ngurah Rai Airport, Denpasar. On 24 November 2005 the airline announced that it was ceasing operations due to a downturn in traffic following terrorist bombings on the Island on 1 October 2005. In February 2007 the Indonesian Transportation Ministry delayed licence revocation of 11 idle airlines, including Air Paradise, to give restructuring opportunities to the operators. Air Paradise was considering re-launching services in March 2007.[1][2]
