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
