DENPASAR, Indonesia, July 22, 2015 (AFP) - Ash spewing from a volcano closed the airport on the Indonesian resort island of Bali Wednesday for the third time this month, forcing the cancellation of flights and stranding tourists during peak holiday season.
Mount Raung on Indonesia’s main island of Java, which has been rumbling for weeks, sent an ash cloud floating over Bali that closed the island’s Ngurah Rai airport, the transport ministry said. Two small airports on Java serving domestic routes were also shut down, it added.
