Bali Flights Cancelled After Indonesia's Volcano Eruption
Many international flights, including from Singapore, Australia, and India to Bali, were cancelled on Wednesday, June 18, after the eruption of the Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano in Indonesia. Virgin Australia, Jetstar, and Air New Zealand confirmed cancellations of flights from Bali. Simultaneously, Air India, Singapore's Tiger Air, and China's Juneyao Airlines also cancelled flights because of the eruption, according to Bali's international airport. The volcano erupted on Tuesday, June 17, unleashing 10,000m of grey clouds into the air, leading Indonesia's Geology Agency to expand the danger zone to eight kilometers from the crater, warning residents to look out for heavy rainfall triggering lava flows. The volcano eruption led to the evacuation of dozens of residents living in the two villages near the volcano, according to the local disaster mitigation agency. Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki erupted in November last year, killing nine individuals and injuring dozens. The volcano erupted again in March of this year, leading to the cancellation and delay of flights into Bali. It last erupted in May, leading authorities to raise the alert level to the most severe.
