Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific have cancelled a string of flights in south-east Asia as an erupting volcano continues to pump ash into the atmosphere.
Mount Bromo in the east of Java erupted early on Thursday, spewing ash up to 370 kilometres to the north-east.
Jetstar and Virgin Blue have also suspended all flights to the holiday island of Bali as experts wait for the ash to clear.
Simon Westaway, Jetstar’s Head of Corporate Relations, said about 1500 passengers were scheduled to fly from Denpasar into Australia or Singapore, with about 800 people scheduled to head to Denpasar from those two countries.
