Indonesia’s Bali airport resumed services after a halt caused by a fresh eruption at the Mount Agung that sent volcanic ashes several miles high into the sky above the popular tourist island.
The airport opened at 2:30 p.m. local time, according to its twitter feed. The shutdown, the second in seven months, led to cancellation of 446 flights, including 207 international ones, affecting about 75,000 passengers, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a spokesman for Indonesia’s disaster mitigation agency, said on Twitter.
