The eruption of the Lewotobi Laki-Laki Volcano in the East Flores region of East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia, has caused a cloud of ash that led to the cancellation of international flight services in the area. According to a statement from Indonesia's airport operator Angkasa Pura Indonesia, flights have been canceled at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali and other airports in the region due to volcanic activity. Canceled flights include services from Jetstar and Virgin Australia from Australia, Air India from India, Air New Zealand from New Zealand, Singapore Airlines from Singapore, and Juneyao Airlines from China. The Indonesian airline Air Asia also canceled numerous domestic flights.
VOLCANO ERUPTION
The Lewotobi Laki-Laki Volcano, a two-coned volcano, erupted yesterday, spewing ash 10 kilometers into the air, and the mushroom-shaped ash cloud was visible even from a city approximately 150 kilometers away. An emergency has been declared in the area due to volcanic activity, and villages near the volcano have been evacuated due to the spread of ash. Indonesia, located in the "Ring of Fire," has 130 active volcanoes in the earthquake and volcanic belt. The eruption of the Lewotobi Laki-Laki Volcano in November 2024 resulted in the deaths of 9 people and injuries to dozens.
