At least 24 flights were canceled on Monday at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport following the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in eastern Indonesia, according to airport director general Ahmad Syaifuddin Shihab.
Several international and domestic routes were affected by the ash cloud, prompting airlines to halt services for safety reasons. Jetstar Airways and Virgin Australia canceled multiple flights to and from Australia, while AirAsia Indonesia suspended two domestic connections.
Qantas Airways and South Korean carrier Air Busan
reported
additional delays. Airport authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely to assess further risks to air traffic.
Flight disruptions linked to volcanic activity are a common occurrence in Indonesia, which sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire, one of the most seismically active regions in the world.
Bali, a major tourism hub, is often impacted by such geological events, which can ground flights for hours or even days depending on ash movement and weather conditions.
The Indonesian Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation has advised local authorities and travelers to remain alert as volcanic activity may continue in the coming days.
