Airlines cancel Bali flights due to ash from erupting volcano

Three Jetstar planes from Bali to Singapore were canceled on Wednesday, according to the site for Changi Airport. The planes were actually scheduled to arrive at 2.15am, 1.30pm, and 9.15pm.

A flight from Singapore Airlines ( SIA ) that was scheduled to arrive at 10 a.m. on Wednesday was also postponed, as well, while SIA’s low-cost carrier Scoot, operated between Singapore and Bali, had several cancellations or re-timed.

CNA has contacted SIA and Scoot for more information.

AirAsia claimed in a speech on Wednesday that the region’s aircraft was likely to be impacted by the “extensive volcanic ash skies.” &nbsp,

This has caused the withdrawal or postponement of some AirAsia Malaysia, AirAsia Thailand, AirAsia Indonesia, AirAsia X Malaysia airlines to and from Bali, Lombok and Labuan Bajo since Nov 4, it added. &nbsp,

Without naming the roads, Ahmad Syaugi Shahab, general manager of Bali’s worldwide airport, claimed in a speech on Wednesday that 12 regional and 22 international flights had been affected by the change.

He did never provide information about disturbed planes on Wednesday’s plan.

” Due to this natural occasion impacting trip operations, carriers are offering affected travellers the choices of refunds, postponement, or re-routing”, he added.
