Flights resume at Indonesia's Bali airport as Mt. Lewotobi Laki-Laki eruption recedes
JAKARTA — Flights at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport on Indonesia's resort island of Bali have returned to normal as the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in East Nusa Tenggara province has receded, according to information from the airport and a government institution on Thursday, Xinhua reported. Gede Eka Sandi Asmadi, head of the communications and legal division at I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, confirmed that flights have resumed normal operations. There were no reports of cancellations for either international or domestic flights on the airport's website on Thursday. 'Several airline flights that were previously cancelled due to the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki have gradually returned to operation,' he said. The Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation Centre stated that Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki has gradually eased its eruption after Tuesday's activity, which sent a column of ash up to 10 kilometres (km) into the sky. On Thursday, the eruption continued, but the ash column could not be seen as it was obscured by clouds, according to the centre. The Volcano Observatory Notice for Aviation, which had been at red level, the highest warning for flights, has been lifted, it said. The 1,584-metre-high volcano is one of 127 active volcanoes in Indonesia. — BERNAMA-XINHUA

Flights To, From Bali Resume After Disruption By Volcano Eruption
Jakarta: All flights to and from the Indonesian resort island of Bali resumed on Thursday after being cancelled or delayed due to eruptions of Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki, officials said. Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki, located in East Nusa Tenggara province, erupted on Tuesday, spewing ash 11 km (7 miles) high. Eighty-seven flights to and from Bali, consisting of 66 international and 21 domestic flights, were affected on Wednesday by the eruption, the Bali airport operator said in a statement. These included connections to Australia, Singapore, Vietnam and Malaysia. On Thursday, flights from Bali departed on schedule to Australia, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia and China, Gede Eka Sandi Asmadi, an official at Bali airport, said in a statement. These flights were operated by airlines including Malaysia Airlines, Virgin Australia, JetStar and Singapore Airlines, Asmadi added. "Until now, all the operations have been running smoothly, both departures and arrivals," Asmadi said. Flights operated by Qantas and its low-cost carrier JetStar were scheduled to operate as normal on Thursday, the company said. A number of flights operated by AirAsia Malaysia and AirAsia Indonesia to and from Bali, Lombok and Labuan Bajo, which were cancelled since Wednesday, have also resumed, the airline said. Two airports in East Nusa Tenggara province reopened on Thursday after being temporarily closed on Wednesday. However, authorities extended the closure of Fransiskus Xaverius Seda airport in Maumere until Friday as there was still some volcanic ash in the air posing a risk to flights, the airport's operator said in a post on social media. Dozens of residents living in three villages nearest to the volcano have been evacuated, the local disaster mitigation agency said. According to Indonesia's volcanology agency, Lewotobi has erupted 427 times this year. Tuesday's eruption is the largest since November last year when it erupted several times, and killed at least 9 people. Indonesia sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area of high seismic activity atop multiple tectonic plates.
