Virgin Australia has cancelled all of today's flights to and from the Indonesian island of Bali because of concerns about volcanic ash.

The airline said its team of meteorologists and the Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre had deemed it unsafe to fly around Denpasar Airport.

Virgin said it would make a decision on tomorrow's flights after receiving further expert advice.

"We continue to monitor the situation closely," Virgin said in a statement.

"The safety of our guests and crew is our highest priority, and we will keep customers updated as new information becomes available."
