On 18 April 2024, Indonesia’s Mount Ruang began to erupt with smoke and ash spewing into the air. Although evacuations have been ordered for the northern side of Sulawesi Island, to date, there have been no recorded injuries or casualties and disruption to travel has been very limited.
Please note that the volcanic eruption is Mount Ruang in Sulawesi, not Mount Raung which is located in East Java near to Mt Ijen.
As a precaution, Malaysian Airlines and Air Asia cancelled flights between Kuala Lumpur and Sabah and Sarawak on 18 April. However, most regular flights have resumed as of 19 April.
Update 22 April: Mount Ruang continues to show signs of activity, however no further evacuations have been ordered. In north Sulawesi, Manado’s Sam Ratulangi International Airport was briefly closed due to ash on Saturday 20 April but resumed normal operations the following day. There are no other travel disruptions at this time.
EXO continues to monitor the situation carefully, ensuring the safety and well-being of all travellers, guides and staff. We will update partners should further developments cause disruption to travellers.
