Air New Zealand said it was monitoring the situation and tracking the movement of the ash.

Whakaari, which lies offshore in the Bay of Plenty, is New Zealand's most active cone volcano.

In 2019, tour groups visiting the island were caught in a sudden eruption, with 22 people killed and many more badly injured. The fifth anniversary of the incident was marked in a ceremony at Whakatāne, in December.
