NEW DELHI, Nov 14 (NNN-PTI) – Indian airlines, IndiGo and Air India, yesterday cancelled their flights to Bali, due to ash clouds from a volcanic eruption near the resort island.
The eruption of Mount Lewotobi earlier this month, in the East Nusa Tenggara province, about 800 km from Bali, killed 10 people.
“Due to a recent volcanic eruption in Bali, flights to/from the region have been cancelled, as ash clouds may impact air travel,” reads an advisory put out by IndiGo Airlines on its social media.
IndiGo operates a daily flight from Bengaluru to Bali.
Local media reports, quoting an official from Air India, said, it has also cancelled its Bali flight.
The airline operates a flight every day from Delhi to the Indonesian island.
