Jetstar will operate additional flights on Monday and Tuesday to bring stranded passengers home from Bali.

Flights to and from the holiday island were cancelled on Saturday as an ash cloud from the Mount Raung eruption drifted towards Denpasar airport.

The airline resumed flights on Sunday and announced there would be an extra Sydney to Bali flight on Monday and an extra Bali to Sydney flight on Tuesday to cater for about 700 passengers whose travel had been interrupted by the fallout from the volcano.

The two extra flights are "to get customers who have been disrupted by the volcano home from Bali or away on their holiday as quickly as possible", a Jetstar spokesman told AAP.
