Indonesian authorities are keeping Bali’s Denpasar Airport closed for another 24 hours because of the ash cloud associated with the eruption of Mount Agung and will review the situation at 7am local time on Wednesday. Yesterday airlines canceled 441 flights disrupting the travel plans for 59,000 travelers and today is expected to be a repeat of those numbers.

Travellers are telling AirlineRatings.com that disrupted passengers are now being offered flights on Saturday at the earliest. Airline policy globally is if your flight does not take-off you are put to the back of the queue for the next available. Stranded passengers - particularly the elderly - are also now worried about running out of medications.

Ash is falling at Denpasar Airport and once the ash cloud is clear the airport itself will have to be cleared of ash. Passengers are urged to check airline's websites.

Complicating matters is the heavy cloud, which makes it difficult to see the ash cloud and the limited range of some planes that operate the flights. The alert level for aviation was raised to red by the Darwin Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre on Saturday.
