TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - AirAsia Airlines announced the cancellation, delay, and rescheduling of flights for AirAsia Malaysia, AirAsia X, AirAsia Thailand, and AirAsia Indonesia from and to Bali, Lombok, and Labuan Bajo on Wednesday, November 13, 2024. The flight cancellations are a result of the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki in East Nusa Tenggara.
