Airlines announce more Bali cancellations
Cancellations to flights in and out of Bali will roll into another week due to volcanic ash from Indonesia’s Mount Raung.
Virgin Australia has cancelled six of its flights in and out of Denpasar Airport on Monday, the airline announced on Sunday.
Another four flights are under review on Monday, with a final decision expected on Monday morning.

Jetstar has already cancelled five of its scheduled Monday flights.
Both airlines were forced to cancel flights on Saturday and Sunday as Mt Raung continued to erupt.
Winds have been blowing the ash in an unfavourable direction over the weekend, with the same wind conditions forecast for Monday, the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre said.
The Mt Raung volcano has played havoc with flights since it began spewing corrosive, silica-based ash in early July.
