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.

Bali airport management said more than 100 flights were cancelled between November 13-14. A change in wind direction has opened up safe flight paths for some services with some flights from Australia resuming. There was a column of ash more than six miles high after an eruption of Mount Lewotobi.
