Bali's international airport will remain closed until Friday due to ash erupting from a nearby volcano, Indonesian officials said, grounding hundreds of flights for a second consecutive day.

Indonesian authorities at Bali's international airport were fighting today to clear a backlog after almost 900 flights were cancelled or delayed in recent days due to a volcanic eruption, causing travel chaos during the peak holiday season.

Ash drifting from an Indonesian volcano closed five airports today, including the one on the holiday island of Bali, causing about 250 flights to be cancelled and stranding thousands of holidaymakers.
