Two Korean Air flights to Bali... "Because of volcanic ash."

A Korean Air flight that was about to leave for Bali, Indonesia, returned to Incheon International Airport one after another due to volcanic ash caused by a local volcanic eruption.

Yesterday (12th) afternoon, two Korean Air flights from Incheon to Ngurarai Airport in Bali, Indonesia, went to the Philippines at around 9:30 last night and turned to Korea.

Nearly 400 passengers were on the two aircraft.

Incheon International Airport explained that it was not authorized to land there due to the recent eruption of the Rakiraki volcano in eastern Indonesia, which caused the ash to soar.
