Jetstar and Virgin Australia have cancelled flights to and from Australia and Bali due to the ash cloud from the eruption of Mt Rinjani on Lombok, adjacent to Bali.
The eruption this year of Mount Raung to the north-west of Bali caused severe disruptions to flights on four separate occasions.
Miracle escape from ash cloud.
Virgin Australia said that its “team of meteorologists and the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre have advised that conditions in the vicinity of Denpasar Airport are not safe for flying.”
“Guests (passengers) whose flights have been cancelled will be advised of their new flight details via SMS or email, or they can contact the Guest Contact Centre on 13 67 89,” the airline said.
It noted that if the travel was booked through a travel agent or a third-party website, it advises passengers to make contact with that party.
Jetstar’s message is the same and it will revisit the situation on Wednesday November 4th.
