Garuda returning to Perth in 2027

[Qantas747]

The Indonesian Embassy has posted that Garuda is "preparing to launch a regular Perth-Denpasar route in 2027." Perth flyers will be very, very happy about this news if it comes to be. I would assume it would be on a 737-800.

Good news! Finally a premium option to Bali?

I was slightly surprised to hear air asia has something like 35 flights a week between Perth and denpasar! so it seems there will be room for another carrier.

That sure would be good news. I see the post is from mid-June. I get that things in aviation move slowly but does anyone know; has any more info come out since then?
