Flights affected also included those operated by KLM and AirAsia .
Media reports said that AirAsia flights out of Australia have been taking off as per schedule. However, flights from Darwin airport have been cancelled.

Indonesia's Mount Agung volcano erupts for a second time in less than a week (Reuters)
A rumbling volcano on Indonesia's holiday island of Bali spewed ash and towering clouds of smoke Tuesday, heightening fears it may erupt for the first time in more than 50 years.
Mount Agung belched smoke as high as 700 metres (2,300 feet) above its summit, as it stirred to life again after more than 140,000 people fled homes around the crater last month for fear the volcano would erupt.
Nearly 1,600 people died when Agung last erupted in 1963, but officials said Tuesday that the rumblings did not pose an immediate threat to those living in its shadow.
