Major Australian airlines have resumed certain flights to Bali as a large ash cloud from the eruption of nearby Mount Lewotobi begins to clear.

Several Australian airlines have canceled flights to and from the popular Indonesian vacation island of Bali after an erupting volcano gushed a column of hot ash miles into the sky.

Most flights serving Bali have resumed after an ash cloud from a volcanic eruption near the island caused travel disruption. Qantas, sister carrier Jetstar and Virgin Australia were among airlines forced to cancel services after Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki volcano erupted, spewing an ash column more than six miles high.
