Jetstar has cancelled a number of flights in and out of Bali because an ash cloud from the Mount Raung eruption in Indonesia is drifting towards Denpasar International Airport.

Nine flights on Thursday evening and Friday have been affected, and the airline says affected passengers will be given options for alternative services.

"We are closely monitoring the weather conditions and will provide further updates on the impact to flights," Jetstar said in a statement.

Two Jetstar flights on their way to Denpasar from Sydney and Melbourne were forced to turn around midway through their flights after Mount Raung on Java erupted.

There are no disruption notices from other airlines, including Virgin Australia, AirAsia or Garuda, which are currently continuing to fly.
