Aussie travellers wait for Bali ash to clear

Aussie tourists will remain stranded in Bali for another day with a volcanic ash cloud continuing to affect Denpasar Airport.

Conditions have been deemed unsafe to fly, causing havoc for holidaymakers.

Only a lucky few managed to make the trip home on Sunday before the majority of flights from Bali were again cancelled.

Virgin Australia cancelled all flights to and from Bali on Monday and all services departing Australia for Bali on Tuesday.

“The ash cloud is not showing signs of retracting away from Denpasar Airport for at least the next day or so,” Virgin Australia said in a statement on Monday.

Jetstar has limited daytime flights leaving Bali on Monday, but said the remainder of scheduled flights to and from Bali would be reviewed by midday.

Both Virgin and Jetstar are offering passengers who are scheduled to fly to Bali the option of travelling to alternative holiday destinations.

The ash cloud has been caused by the nearby Mount Rinaji volcano.
