A volcanic ash cloud continues to affect flights out of Bali.

Virgin Australia had to cancel three out of four flights scheduled for Sunday afternoon as conditions at the holiday hotspot worsening during the day.

Earlier on Sunday, both Virgin Australia and Jetstar planned to run daylight-only flights from Bali after news that the ash cloud from nearby Mount Rinaji volcano was clearing but conditions have since changed.

Two Jetstar flights were able to leave for Australia before conditions worsened, with those flights expected to reach Perth late on Sunday.

Another two Jetstar flights were cancelled.

Both airlines will issue statements about Monday's flights later on Sunday.
