Bali’s airport is set to re-open after a two-day closure due to ash from a volcanic eruption that’s stranded professional golfers, an Indian gangster and the South Asian nation’s vice president.
Indonesia’s transport ministry allowed Ngurah Rai airport to resume operations on Thursday afternoon, with authorities waiting for aviation notices to be sent out, Ida Bagus Ketut Juliadnyana, a spokesman for the airport’s operator Angkasa Pura I, said by phone on Thursday. Earlier in the day the airport was due to stay closed until Friday.
