Bali Airport Reopens After Volcanic Eruption

Flights Resume After Mount Agung Eruption

Airport Operations Return to Normal

Denpasar, Bali - The Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali has reopened after being closed for 24 hours due to a volcanic eruption of Mount Agung.

The airport reopened at 6:00 AM local time on Monday, November 26, 2018, after the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) lowered the volcanic ash warning level to orange.

All flights that were canceled or delayed on Sunday have been rescheduled, and the airport is now operating normally.

Eruption Causes Flight Disruptions

The eruption of Mount Agung on Sunday forced the closure of the airport due to the risk of volcanic ash posing a hazard to aircraft.

Volcanic ash can damage aircraft engines and cause visibility issues.

The airport closure stranded thousands of passengers, and many flights were canceled or delayed.

Passengers Advised to Check Flight Status

Passengers who are scheduled to fly from or to Bali are advised to check the status of their flights with their airline before heading to the airport.

They can also check the airport's website for updates on the situation.

The airport is expected to remain open, but passengers should be prepared for possible delays or cancellations due to the ongoing volcanic activity.

Mount Agung Remains Active

Mount Agung remains active, and the VAAC has issued a warning that the volcano could erupt again.

The Indonesian government has raised the alert level for the volcano to the highest level, and a no-fly zone has been established around the mountain.

Residents and tourists in the area are advised to stay away from the volcano and to follow the instructions of local authorities.
