Flights from Bali have been canceled due to the eruption of the Mount Leventobi Lakí-Laki volcano, which is emitting ash up to a height of 9 km. As a result, 10 people died and several were injured on the island of Flores.

Since the eruption, the volcano has been ejecting rocks, lava, and hot thumb-sized rocks. Over 10,000 people have been injured and houses and schools have been destroyed. Approximately 6,000 residents had to move to temporary shelters.

Airlines Jetstar, Qantas, and Virgin Australia have canceled flights to and from Denpasar Airport due to the volcano eruption.

Jetstar announced that all flights to and from Denpasar Airport were canceled until 2:00 PM on November 13. The airline offered passengers various options due to the inconvenience, such as free rebooking or receiving a voucher for a certain amount. Virgin Airlines also canceled several flights and Qantas delayed two return flights from Australia.

The 1,584-meter-high Leventobi Lakí-Laki volcano has been active since last Thursday. The alert level has been raised to the maximum and the evacuation zone expanded. Any activity within a radius of 7 km around the volcano is prohibited.
