According to the Changi Airport website, three Jetstar flights from Bali to Singapore on Wednesday were cancelled. The flights were originally scheduled to arrive at 2.15am, 1.30pm, and 9.15pm.
A Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight that was expected to arrive at 10am on Wednesday was also cancelled while several flights by SIA’s low-cost carrier Scoot between Singapore and Bali were cancelled or re-timed.
CNA has contacted SIA and Scoot for more information.
AirAsia said in a statement on Wednesday that the “extensive volcanic ash clouds” were expected to affect airspace within the region.
This has caused the cancellation or rescheduling of some AirAsia Malaysia, AirAsia Thailand, AirAsia Indonesia, AirAsia X Malaysia flights to and from Bali, Lombok and Labuan Bajo since Nov 4, it added.
Ahmad Syaugi Shahab, general manager of Bali’s international airport, said in a statement on Wednesday that 12 domestic and 22 international flights were affected a day ago, without identifying the routes.
He did not provide details about affected flights on Wednesday’s schedule.
“Due to this natural event impacting flight operations, airlines are offering affected passengers the options of refunds, rescheduling, or re-routing,” he added.
