24 Hour Shutdown: Why Bali’s Airport Will Close

Monday, March 11th, the famous tourist mecca of Bali and its airport will be silent as the island observes 'Nyepi Day,' also known as Bali's Day of Silence. The usually bustling Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) will be closed 24 hours from 06:00, when even the lights will be turned off, and Sunday evening will see all airport areas checked and secured before everything goes quiet.
