Bali Airport Restores Flights, as Lewotobi Laki-Laki Eruption Eases
(MENAFN) Flight operations at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, Bali’s main gateway, have returned to normal following the decrease in volcanic activity from Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in East Nusa Tenggara, officials reported Thursday.
Gede Eka Sandi Asmadi, who leads the communications and legal division at the airport, confirmed that airline services are back on schedule. The airport's website showed no cancellations for either domestic or international flights throughout the day.
"Several airline flights that were previously canceled due to the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki have gradually returned to operation," he stated.
The Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Center noted that after a significant eruption on Tuesday sent ash soaring as high as 10 kilometers, the volcanic activity has since diminished.
On Thursday, while the volcano remained active, the ash plume was hidden by cloud cover, making it invisible to observers, the center added.
The Volcano Observatory Notice for Aviation, previously raised to the red level—the strictest alert restricting flights—has now been downgraded.
Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki, standing 1,584 meters tall, is one of Indonesia’s 127 active volcanoes.
