Volcán Puyehue - cordón Caulle of Chile broke out last week.
The Centre of Australian Advisory Volcanic Ash emitted briefings to aviation industry so that they can make decisions on air routes safe.
Australian national carrier Qantas canceled all flights from and to New Zealand, as well as the Australian State of Tasmania.
Qantas also announced that also have cancelled the Sunday night all flights to and from Melbourne.
In addition, members of Qantas Jetstar has cancelled more than 60 flights, leaving thousands of travelers stranded at airports in both countries.
More information on the basis of flights
Qantas issued a statement saying that it will continue to monitor the movement of the cloud of ash and its impact on operations.
Australia Virgin said it will cancel two flights to New Zealand on Sunday, but it could accommodate passengers in hotels and will seek to reserve flights on Monday.
Air New Zealand took a different approach, saying no timeout delays or cancellations and adjust flight routes and altitudes as necessary.
"The ash has traveled a great distance at high altitude and still present in bands of different altitude between 20,000-35,000 feet," said captain David Morgan, a general manager at Air New Zealand.
"As a result, where you need aircraft will fly at an altitude lower than 18,000 feet are kept below the ashes or who run a course different from is clear of."
In 1982, a British Airways 747 Jumbo was heavily damaged and had all four engines fail when she met an Indonesian volcano ash.
The plane was able to restart some engines before making an emergency landing at Jakarta.
The geological survey of United States says that more than 80 airliners have found unexpectedly volcanic ash in flight and at airports in the past 15 years.
Ash by Jet engines can lead to a deterioration in the performance and the engine failure, said the Agency of the United States.
