Jetstar said all flights to and from Bali until 12: 00 Australian Eastern Daylight Time Thursday ( 04: 00 GMT ) have been cancelled. On Wednesday, Virgin Australia canceled all of its planes to and from Bali.
Jetstar also stated that it would soon fly more customers between Bali and Australia using its bigger Boeing 787.
The volcanic dust has also had an impact on business in Indonesia.
