Anticipating the current situation, PT Angkasa Pura I continues to communicate with airlines, BMKG (Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency), and the Airport Authority Office.
"We also urge prospective passengers to heed information from airlines regarding the current flight status concerning potential flight delays and cancellations in line with Mount Lewotobi’s volcanic activities," Barata said.
So far, the airport authorities have ensured that the airspace at Lombok Airport is not affected by volcanic ash from Mount Lewotobi’s eruptions. "Aerodrome observations with paper tests that we conduct every hour show negative results or no spread of volcanic ash from Mount Lewotobi in the airport area,” Barata said.
