Several flights to and from Bali have been canceled due to the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki in Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara province.
The eruption, which killed nine individuals, happened on Sunday.
Due to the presence of the volcanic ash cloud, several flights from Australia to Bali have been canceled. Some of the airlines affected by the incident include Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin Australia, and AirAsia.
In a statement, Jetstar said that all of its customers have been informed about the situation and are provided with a variety of options.
In response to the situation, Jetstar announced that it will be operating two additional services between Bali and Australia on Wednesday afternoon.
These services will be carried out using its larger 787 aircraft. The company noted that it is committed to providing its passengers with the best possible experience.
To ensure the safety of its passengers, the airline urges them to check its site before traveling to the airport.
Four of Virgin Australia’s Bali-bound flights were also canceled on Tuesday due to adverse weather conditions.
The airline noted that it is working to ensure the safety of its passengers and crew members. To check the status of their flights, customers can visit the company’s website.
Christine Sutherland of Perth received a text message from Jetstar informing her that her flight had been canceled due to the volcanic activity.
She noted that her group of 20 had been affected by the situation.
Accommodation has been difficult for her and her companions, with room rates going up by around 40 percent.
We have a flight scheduled to take off on Wednesday night, and we hope that we can get out.
Authorities have been evacuating thousands of people from villages near the crater.
