A restless Indonesian volcano on the island of Lombok has again spewed clouds of ash into the air - causing Virgin and Jetstar to cancel flights to and from Bali. Tigerair has also reviewed some flights.
Bali airport, however, remains open.
So far, flights confirmed cancelled include:
Virgin VA 046 fromDenpasar to Brisbane Virgin VA 070 from Denpasar to Sydney Jetstar JQ 37 from Sydney to Bali Jetstar JQ 116 from Perth to Bali Jetstar JQ 57 from Brisbane to Bali Jetstar JQ 127 from Adelaide to Bali Tigerair TT19 from Perth to Bali Tigerair TT2 Bali to Melbourne
All passengers seeking to fly to and from Bali are advised to check with their airlines as to the status of their flights.
Tigerair has issued a statement saying that "conditions are not suitable for operations into and out of Denpasar Airport today due to volcanic activity from Mt Rinjani".
Perth Airport says it is monitoring the ash cloud with the help of the Bureau of Meteorology's Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre.
Travellers have been left stranded because the ash cloud - produced by eruptions by volcanos including Mt Rinjani - can interfere with jet engine turbine blades and choke intakes.
