Bali airport management said more than 100 flights were cancelled between November 13-14. A change in wind direction has opened up safe flight paths for some services with some flights from Australia resuming. There was a column of ash more than six miles high after an eruption of Mount Lewotobi.

Most flights serving Bali have resumed after an ash cloud from a volcanic eruption near the island caused travel disruption. Qantas, sister carrier Jetstar and Virgin Australia were among airlines forced to cancel services after Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki volcano erupted, spewing an ash column more than six miles high.

Eighty-three international routes were cancelled on Wednesday, the general manager of Bali's international airport said in a statement, after Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki spewed a 9km tower of ash into the sky. The volcano has erupted more than a dozen times over the last two weeks, killing at least nine people and forcing the evacuation of thousands.
