Kelowna resident Gina Petrovich has also been stranded in Bali but her twin Kelly Ronahan reached out to Global News on Thursday to confirm her sister is also on her way back to the Okanagan.
Mount Agung is about 70 kilometres from the airport.
It began erupting last week spewing massive plumes of dark ash into the air.
