Air India flight AI2145, scheduled from Delhi to Bali on 18 June 2025, was advised to return to Delhi mid‑air due to a volcanic eruption near Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport, as confirmed by the airline and authorities. The aircraft diverted safely, passengers disembarked in Delhi, and were offered hotel accommodation, full refunds, or complimentary rescheduling. Meanwhile, Indonesia's Mount Lewotobi Laki‑Laki erupted on Flores Island, spewing ash up to around 10 km high. The eruption prompted evacuations, forced cancellation of dozens of flights including to and from Bali and raised the disaster alert to its highest level. No casualties were reported.
