About three dozen flights between Australia and Bali have been cancelled or delayed following a massive eruption of one of Indonesia’s most active volcanoes.
Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki spewed hot ash and smoke reaching 10,000 metres high when it erupted on Tuesday evening, affecting airspace between the two countries.
About a dozen Jetstar flights between capital cities and Bali scheduled for Wednesday morning were cancelled, while flight trackers showed delays of up to three hours for about another dozen flights scheduled this afternoon and evening.
Airlines are working with affected customers to find alternative options, and are advising passengers travelling to the region to monitor their flights for updates.
