Bali flights operating normally despite another volcanic eruption
Further disruption is unlikely for passengers flying out of Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport after a blaze at the weekend caused an evacuation and shutdown of the domestic terminal.
However authorities are closely monitoring activity of the island’s Mount Agung volcano which erupted again early Sunday.
The eruption blanketed parts of Bali with volcanic ash but so far all flight operations are normal.
Fire broke out in the domestic terminal on Friday which delayed 19 flights and closed down 40 of terminal’s 62 check-in desks.
Most departing passengers were forced to use the international terminal to check in for their domestic flights over the weekend.
Airport management expect the domestic terminal to be back to normal by April 22.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Meanwhile Mount Agung’s status remains at level three and with a 4km exclusion zone.
Flights on Qantas, Jetstar and AirAsia were all operating as scheduled on Monday.
