The Bureau of Meteorology says there will be no flight interruptions caused by the eruption of a volcano in Indonesia.
The eruption of Mt Semeru, which has killed at least 13 people, could have also caused havoc with the aviation industry.
But meteorologist Sarah Scully said that unless it erupted again, it was not expected volcanic ash would cause any flights to be suspended.
She said:
Luckily the areas had fairly widespread showers and a tropical thunderstorm, which has washed the atmosphere of volcanic ash.
Unless there’s another eruption, and we’ll be keeping a close eye on it … the danger has passed.
