Both airlines are offering passengers the opportunity to change flights for no additional fee and are urging passengers to follow the updates on their websites.
AirAsia has resumed services and is adding extra flights to clear the backlog of passengers.
It says that it will “notify passengers of their updated flight status and the options made available to them.”
Passengers are also advised by AirAsia to check their flight itinerary through the "Manage My Booking" feature on the website.
Jetstar and Virgin Australia said they will add additional services to clear the backlog of passengers once the ash cloud clears completely.
