A limited number of flights in and out of Bali are set to resume.
It comes after a volcanic ash cloud grounded flights, disrupting plans for thousands of travellers.
Mt Lewotobi Laki Laki spews ash and smoke during an eruption as seen on November 13, 2024.
Jetstar and Qantas say they’ll start to resume services this morning:
“We’re closely monitoring conditions at Denpasar Airport in Bali due to volcanic ash caused by the Mount Lewotobi eruption in Indonesia. Our teams have been working through the night to closely monitor the evolving situation and assess when it’s safe to fly,” the carrier said in a statement.
“In good news, this morning conditions have improved allowing us to resume operations between Australia and Denpasar.”

In a statement on their website, Virgin Australia this morning (November 14) said they are also resuming all scheduled flights in and out of Denpasar and will “continue to contact guests whose flights have been cancelled to accommodate them on recovery flights in the coming days.”
The travel chaos follows a huge eruption on Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki last week, which killed 10 people.
