Air travel disruptions have been reported across Bali as volcanic ash from Mount Agung’s recent eruption clouds the skies. Airports, including Bali’s Ngurah Rai International, have temporarily suspended flight operations due to safety concerns.
The eruption, which began early today, has sent a plume of ash thousands of feet into the atmosphere, causing visibility issues for pilots and creating hazardous conditions for flights. Airlines have been forced to reroute or cancel dozens of inbound and outbound flights, affecting thousands of travelers.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and have issued advisories urging travelers to check the status of their flights before heading to the airport. Local officials have also reminded tourists to stay safe as volcanic ash can pose health risks, particularly for individuals with respiratory conditions.
Flights are expected to resume once the ash cloud dissipates and it is deemed safe for air traffic. The situation is ongoing, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
