Flights have resumed to Bali, Indonesia's largest tourist destination, where the skyway was blocked due to the eruption of the volcano Rwotobi Rakiraki in the eastern Sosunda Islands, which killed nine people.
Garuda Indonesia flight GA871 from Incheon Airport to Bali this morning left normally and Garuda Indonesia flight GA870 from Bali to Incheon settled this morning.
In addition, most flights from Bali to Singapore, Australia, the Philippines and Malaysia are operating normally.
Indonesia's Meteorological and Climate Geological Administration (BMKG) explained that the Lewatovy Rakiraki volcano erupted on the morning of the 14th local time, spewing volcanic ash and pouring lava, but analysis of satellite images showed that no volcanic ash was found over Bali.
On the 3rd, the eruption of the Lewatovy Rakiraki volcano killed nine nearby residents and damaged homes due to the ash.
The volcano continued to erupt afterwards, and during the eruption on the 12th and 13th, flights to and from Bali and nearby Lombok were canceled one after another due to predictions that ash would cross over Bali, about 800 kilometers away from the volcano.
