Volcanic ash cloud causes more Bali flight cancellations

For the second time in just two months, volcanic ash from Mount Rinjani on the Indonesian island of Lombok is causing havoc for travellers to and from the popular holiday destination of Bali.

Tigerair, Jetstar and Virgin Australia flights have all been affected since last night, when the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre warned that conditions were not safe for flights in and out of Denpasar Airport.

Jetstar has notified affected passengers via SMS and email, issuing a statement saying, “We will always put safety before schedule and will only commence flying when it is safe to do so.”

While Jetstar has begun resuming flights, Tigerair and Virgin Australia passengers are still waiting for replacement flights. All travellers affected by the cancellations are being told to monitor their airline’s website for any announcements of further cancellations and replacement flights.

The Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre will release an update on the situation at 10.30am (AEST) but passengers are advised to check in as normal unless told otherwise by their airline.
