Tourists planning to visit Bali should stay informed about potential flight disruptions following the eruption of Mount Laki-Laki on the Flores Islands. The volcano has been increasingly active, with recent eruptions sending ash clouds into the air that could affect air travel.
Travelers, especially those coming from Australia and New Zealand, are advised to monitor travel updates closely before their journey. While no flight disruptions have been reported yet, the heightened volcanic activity suggests being prepared for possible delays or cancellations.
The Head of the Indonesian Geological Agency, Muhammad Wafid, highlighted the ongoing high activity of Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki, raising concerns about the potential for a larger eruption. The volcano, situated east of Bali, has already experienced multiple eruptions, with ash clouds reaching significant altitudes.
Local authorities have cleared a 6km radius around the volcano, and residents are on alert for potential risks such as cold lava flows following heavy rainfall. The recent eruption recorded ash reaching 1.2km into the atmosphere, underscoring the volatile nature of the situation.
Warnings about flight disruptions are not unprecedented in the region. Earlier incidents in March 2025 saw flights delayed and canceled at Bali’s international airport due to volcanic ash clouds. The airport authorities reassured passengers of their commitment to safety and real-time updates to ensure smooth air traffic operations.
In April, further eruptions occurred with no immediate impact on flights. However, the community near the volcano was evacuated as a precaution, emphasizing the importance of preparedness and safety measures in volcanic regions.
Travelers heading to Bali are reminded to secure comprehensive travel insurance that covers natural disasters like volcanic eruptions. Understanding the policy details and inclusions is crucial to ensuring adequate protection during unforeseen events.
As the situation evolves, tourists are advised to stay updated on airline notifications and follow Bali’s international airport on social media platforms for immediate flight change announcements. Keeping abreast of developments is essential for a smooth and informed travel experience amidst volcanic activity.
