Flights around Australia may be disrupted by a major volcanic eruption in Indonesia.
All flights in and out of Darwin International Airport have been cancelled following the eruption of Sangeang Api, off the northeast coast of the Indonesian island of Sumbawa on Friday evening.
Emile Jansons, the manager of the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre at the Bureau of Meteorology in Darwin, said a massive volcanic ash cloud is already affecting Australian air space.
"It has currently reached the Australian coast. It has reached the Kimberley coast (in Western Australia)," he told AAP.
"It is spreading east and it may dissipate, so it is not clear how far east it will get.
"It is not yet clear if it will affect the eastern seaboard."
Mr Jansons said volcanic ash can be hazardous to aircraft but the decision whether or not to fly is a safety and economic decision that rests with individual airlines.
Darwin International Airport's website shows all incoming and outgoing flights have been cancelled.
