New Delhi: In a significant disruption to travel plans, IndiGo and Air India announced the cancellation of their flights to Bali on Wednesday, November 13, due to volcanic activity on the Indonesian island. The Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano, located on a remote island in East Nusa Tenggara province, erupted earlier this month, spewing ash clouds that now pose a potential threat to aviation safety. In a statement on social media platform X, IndiGo issued a travel advisory: “#6ETravelAdvisory: Due to a recent volcanic eruption in #Bali, flights to/from the region have been cancelled, as ash clouds may impact air travel.”
IndiGo operates a daily flight from Bengaluru to Bali, and the airline is taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety of its passengers. Air India also confirmed the cancellation of its daily flights from Delhi to the popular tourist destination. The service, which was being operated under Vistara prior to its merger with Air India, is now suspended as the airline assesses the situation. Travelers planning to visit Bali are advised to stay informed about the latest updates from airlines and consider alternative travel arrangements. As the impact of the volcanic eruption continues to unfold, both IndiGo and Air India are prioritizing passenger safety amid ongoing concerns about ash cloud interference with flight operations.
