    INDONESIAN authorities at Bali's international airport struggled on Monday 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.

    Mount Raung on Indonesia's main island of Java which had been rumbling for weeks sent an ash cloud floating over Bali on Thursday, forcing the airport to close for two days.
