Tremors felt on the resort island of Bali have caused damage to the airport and buildings as a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck neighbouring province West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) on Sunday evening.
The tremor has reportedly damaged buildings, including two shopping malls in Denpasar and Kuta, the Cathedral in Denpasar.
The I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport only suffered “minor damage” inside the terminal, with main facilities and infrastructure, including runway, taxiway and apron, remaining intact, The Jakarta Post reported.
Damages will be repaired within 24 hours and airport operations would be “resumed as normal”, said Arie Ahsanurrohim, the communications and legal section head of state-owned airport operator PT Angkasa Pura I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport.
Meanwhile, operations at Lombok International Airport have resumed, airport authorities say, despite images circulating on social media that show passengers stranded on the airport's apron.
“At this moment, airport operations at Lombok International Airport remain normal. We encouraged passengers not to panic during the aftershocks and immediately to move to safer places via emergency exits,” Lombok International Airport general manager I Gusti Ngurah Ardita said in a statement.
