Trans Tasman flights are resuming today but some New Zealand services remain on hold because of a large volcanic ash cloud covering the south island.

Ash plumes from a Chilean volcano have cleared out of Australian airspace but a heavy blanket of ash covering New Zealand's south island is still causing havoc for air travellers.

Qantas and Jetstar will all fly to Auckland, Queenstown and Wellington but not to Christchurch, while Virgin's only flying to Auckland.
