Many international airlines have canceled flights to and from Bali, Indonesia, due to the ongoing volcanic eruption, leaving travelers stranded at the airport.

Tourists reported that they have been stranded at Bali’s airport since Tuesday after their flights were suddenly canceled.

Charlie Austin from Perth, Australia, one of the travelers who was vacationing in Bali with his family, said that the airline didn’t provide them with accommodation, leaving them helpless at the airport.

Another traveler, Isabella Butler, searched for another flight to take her home. She said, “The important thing is that we have to be able to get out of here.”

According to the media reports, thousands of people were left helpless without any accommodation at the airports in Indonesia and Australia but the exact number hasn’t been confirmed.  

Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano on the island of Flores in Indonesia erupted on November 4, killing nine people and injuring many others. Since then, the volcano has been erupting frequently, with ash clouds rising as high as 9 kilometers (5.5 miles) in the air. The eruptions continue to pose a danger to the area.

Authorities have increased the danger zone around Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano up to 9 kilometers as it continued to erupt. Volcanic debris, including burning rocks, lava, and hot ash fragments, have been ejected as far as 8 kilometers from the crater since Friday. The ongoing eruptions have also disrupted air travel at Bali's I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. Over the past four days, 84 flights were impacted, including 36 departures and 48 arrivals, according to airport manager Ahmad Syaugi Shahab.

Airport general manager Ahmad Syaugi Shahab said the volcanic eruption has disrupted the flights at Bali’s Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. Around 84 flights, including 36 scheduled for departure and 48 due to arrive, were affected.

Shahab further added, that at least 26 domestic flights and 64 international flights were canceled on Wednesday, including airlines from India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Qatar, and Malaysia. Airlines also offered a refund or rescheduled flights for these cancellations, said Shahab.

Three Australian airlines have canceled or delayed flights to Bali due to the volcano. Jetstar paused its Bali flights until at least Thursday, saying it’s not safe to operate. Virgin Australia canceled 10 flights, while Qantas delayed three. Air New Zealand canceled a flight to Bali and another back to Auckland. Korean Air also turned two flights around because of volcanic ash. Some airlines are offering refunds for passengers who don't want to travel.

In January 6,500 people were evacuated after Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki began erupting, ejecting thick clouds and leading the government to close the island’s Fransiskus Xaverius Seda Airport. However, no casualties were reported, but the airport has remained closed because of this eruption.
