Ammon News - Several international airlines have resumed flights to and from Indonesia's resort island of Bali, an official said on Thursday, after multiple eruptions of the Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki volcano belched ash up to 10 km (16 miles) into the air.

The eruptions of Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki in East Nusa Tenggara province forced the cancellation of more than 160 flights to and from Bali between Nov. 4 to Nov. 13, with 91 flights halted on Wednesday, the most in one day, said Ahmad Syaugi Shahab, general manager of Bali's Ngurah Rai airport in Denpasar.

East Nusa Tenggara is located about 800 km (497 miles) from Bali's popular tourist destinations.

Indonesia's Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka is expected to visit several areas affected by the eruption on Thursday and distribute aid for the residents.

The first eruption of the Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki on Nov. 3 killed at least nine people, damaged more than 2,000 houses and forced the evacuation of 13,000 residents.
