Bali's Mount Agung erupted early on Sunday morning, sending a volcanic ash cloud two kilometres into the sky and sparking fears about flight delays.

The volcano erupted about 3.21am, with authorities maintaining a four kilometre exclusion zone around the mountain amid concerns of further explosions.

Indonesian authorities said Bali's main airport, Ngurah Rai International Airport, was not affected by the eruption.

But the volcano's constant activity is sparking fears thousands of travellers could be stranded on the holiday island.

Holidayers were stuck in Bali for over a week after Mount Agung erupted and sent a thick volcanic ash cloud into the air, making it unsafe for planes to fly in or out.
