"The latest advice from our team of meteorologists, senior pilots and the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre is that conditions for flying in the vicinity of Denpasar Airport remain unfavourable and it is unsafe to operate our scheduled services today," the airline said in a statement on Sunday.

Virgin said it would provide an update on Monday flights due to depart Denpasar in the morning.

Ash from Mt Rinjani, on the island of Lombok, has been blowing toward Denpasar airport for more than a week after the volcano started emitting debris last month.
