Virgin has confirmed all flights in and out of Denpasar are cancelled today after multiple airlines grounded planes overnight.
The grounded planes overnight and this morning are a result of Indonesia’s Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano spewing towering columns of hot ash high into the air since a huge eruption last week.
“The safety of our guests and crew is our highest priority,” Virgin Australia said in a statement this morning.
“Adverse weather due to the volcano in Indonesia has resulted in Virgin Australia cancelling all flights in and out of Denpasar today.
“We regret the inconvenience this has caused our passengers, and our team is working hard to ensure all passengers booked on our services get to their destination safely and as soon as possible.”
Qantas customers can also expect an update later this morning, though the airline has continued to cancel flights to Denpasar throughout today.
