FLIGHTS to and from Bali will resume this morning after planes were grounded due to volcanic ash.

In a statement to Seven, Virgin Australia said the airline had determined that flying to and from Bali was now safe, with the first flight to Bali due to leave at 10.05am.

Virgin said it would add extra flights to deal with the backlog and urged passengers to check updates on their website, according to Sunrise.

Jetstar flights to and from Bali are also due to resume today, Seven reports.

Meantime, the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre in Darwin has issued a number of warnings since the volcano Mount Rinjani in Lombok erupted yesterday.

Virgin Australia flights to Denpasar via Perth from Brisbane and Sydney were cancelled yesterday, along with Tigerair flights from Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Tigerair also cancelled flights out of Denpasar to Perth, Melbourne and Adelaide, adding it would provide hotel accommodation for affected passengers.

“The latest advice from our team of meteorologists and the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre is that conditions are not suitable for operations into and out of Denpasar Airport today (Monday August 1) due to volcanic activity from Mt Rinjani,” a statement on Tigerair’s website said.

“Tigerair Australia sincerely apologises to affected passengers for the inconvenience however weather conditions are outside the airline’s control and safety always comes before schedule.”

Jetstar said it had two flights return to Australia after conditions changed during the flight, Nine News reports.

Travellers due to fly to the island on Tuesday are being advised to check in at the airport as normal unless they receive notification their flight is affected.

In 2015 ash clouds from Mt Rinjani and Mt Raung disrupted flights to Bali several times during the year.

“Safety is our number one priority and we are working to have guests on their way as quickly as possible,” Virgin said on Twitter.

Perth Airport announced that flights were affected on Monday afternoon.

“Flights to/from Bali have been impacted by a volcanic ash cloud. Passengers travelling to Bali should check with their airline for updates,” Perth Airport wrote on Twitter just after 2pm.’

An ash cloud from Mount Bromo in East Java caused an airport to close there last month.

This current ash cloud is believed to have been caused by Mount Rinjani in Lombok, which began erupting in late October after five years without activity.

Perth-Bali-bound Virgin Australia flight VA41 was diverted back to Brisbane via Darwin. Hotel accommodation was being provided, with the flight scheduled to land in Denpasar about 2.45pm today.

Passengers due to travel soon are being urged to check their airline websites for the latest updates.
