ustralian airlines including Qantas, its low cost carrier JetStar, and Virgin Australia said on Monday that they have canceled several flights between Australia and Bali following a volcanic eruption.
Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki, located in East Nusa Tenggara province, erupted on Monday morning, spewing out an ash cloud reaching as high as 18 kilometres (11.18 miles).
Last month dozens of flights to and from Bali were cancelled after the volcano erupted. Volcanic ash rained down on several communities around the volcano and forced the evacuation of at least one village.

A customer service agent of airport operator InJourney Airports told AFP that Bali's Ngurah Rai international airport was still operating normally despite the eruption.
Lewotobi erupted multiple times in November, killing nine people and forcing thousands to evacuate, as well as the cancellation of scores of international flights to Bali.
