Authorities have extended the closure of Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) for another 24 hours until 0700 November 29 due to a significant eruption of the Mount Agung volcano. As of the morning of November 28, flight operations were also suspended at Lombok International Airport (LOP), where close to 50 flights had been cancelled. Depending on wind conditions and the duration of the eruption, ash could be carried aloft and affect operations at other airports in eastern Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands (Kepulauan Nusa Tenggara), or possibly northern Australia, although problems have so far been concentrated around Bali, Lombok, and the easternmost part of Java.
