BALI - The main airport in the Indonesian tourist island of Bali will suspend all international and domestic flights for 24 hours on March 7 to coincide with the Day of Silence, which is a public holiday.

They also refrain from using electricity, electronics or fire, travelling outside the home and all forms of entertainment on the day.
