Volcanic Ash Grounds Bali Flights Amid Eruption
TL;DR
Flights to and from Bali have been cancelled by several airlines, including Qantas, Jetstar, and Virgin Australia, due to dangerous ash clouds from Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki. The volcano recently erupted, sending a 9km ash column into the sky, prompting safety concerns. The ash may also affect parts of northern Australia. Other airlines like Cathay Pacific, IndiGo, and AirAsia have also cancelled flights, while some flights continue. The volcanic activity has also led to the postponement of a jazz festival in Indonesia.
