Cempaka Culture and Tourism: KLM revives Amsterdam-Bali route

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has resumed a direct flight from Amsterdam to Bali starting Dec. 7 this year after the route was dropped in October 1997.

The first flight on the revived route, KL835, touched down at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar at 8:20 p.m. Monday evening, with 191 passengers and 14 crew on board the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, said Dimiati, spokeswoman for airport operator PT Angkasa Pura I.

The 425-seat aircraft left for Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam an hour later, on route KL836, with a stopover in Singapore.

KLM's previous direct flight to Bali was on Oct. 15, 1997.

"Bali is a popular destination among Dutch and European holidaymakers," said KLM president and CEO Peter Hartman.

"This is a key factor that drives us to resume this flight."

KL835 departs from Schiphol every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday at 9 p.m. local time, arriving in Denpasar at 8:10 p.m. the next day.

The return KL836 departs from Bali every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 9:30 p.m. and arrives in Amsterdam early the next day at 8 a.m. Connections from Schiphol to various destinations across Europe and North America are available.

Hartman said the route had proved to be very popular.

"Therefore, we have decided to raise the frequency from three to four flights per week starting January 2010," he added.

The extra flight will be launched on Jan. 22, leaving Amsterdam on Saturday and departing from Bali on Sunday.

Together with its daily flight from Amsterdam to Jakarta, KLM also offers 10 flights a week connecting Indonesia and the Netherlands.

KLM has operated in Indonesia for the past 85 years. With the addition to its network of Bali, which becomes KLM's 61st long-distance destination, KLM now serves six routes to Southeast Asia.

Commenting on the resumption of KLM's route, I Gde Pitana, director general of overseas promotion at the Culture and Tourism Ministry, said the route would have a positive impact on tourism in the resort island.

"The direct flight will encourage more European tourists to come to Bali, because accessibility is the main issue in improving a destination," Pitana told The Jakarta Post.

He added Bali had great potential to attract European tourists, but was being held back by poor accessibility.

"Therefore we encourage more carriers to fly direct flights from Europe," he said.

The ministry says 540,828 tourists from Europe visited Bali between January and October this year. That number is an increase from 514,585 during the same period last year.
