The UK Met Office and National Air Traffic Services (NATS) have placed restrictions on an area stretching from Prestwick on the west coast to Humberside on the east coast and south to a line just north of Birmingham.
The restrictions, which apply between 1 pm and at least until 7 pm today, do not affect London airports, but Jersey flights to airports, including Manchester, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Bristol, Newcastle, Doncaster, Luton and the Isle of Man this afternoon have been cancelled.
Information on flight cancellations to and from Jersey can be obtained on the airport website www.jerseyairport.com.
Airports in northern Ireland and the Isle of Man were closed this morning, and the UK Met Office warned that the ash could move across parts of the UK over the next few days.
The disruption follows a fresh eruption from the Mount Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland. Since the eruption which caused disruption for nearly a week recently, passengers have been advised that there might be problems from time to time and to check with their airlines for the latest information.
