Denpasar (Antaranews Bali) - Domestic visitors, who spent the long 2018 Eid al-Fitr, or Lebaran holidays in Bali, have gradually begun departing from the Indonesian island resort.

Some of the holidaymakers were seen leaving on Monday evening from the I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport for their respective home areas.

PT Angkasa Pura-I Public Relations Chief for Ngurah Rai Airport Arie Ahsanurrohim remarked here on Tuesday that the reverse flow of Lebaran holiday travelers from Bali will peak on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Ahsanurrohim noted that Wednesday is the last day of the long collective Lebaran holidays this year for holiday travelers to return to work on Thursday.

According to Ahsanurrohim, the surge was witnessed in the number of passengers on domestic flights departing from the Ngurah Rai Airport since Monday at the domestic departure terminal of the airport and is forecast to peak on Wednesday.

Integrated Command Post of Lebaran Transport Monitoring at the airport recorded that 19,627 domestic passengers had left Bali on Monday.

The number is greater than 18,764 domestic passengers, who arrived in Bali via the Ngurah Rai Airport.
