Alaska's Mount Redoubt erupted two more times, spewing ash 50,000 feet in the air.
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC), located nearby, is currently closed due to ash fall.
Alaska Airlines has canceled more than 185 flights affecting about 10,000 passengers since the volcanic eruptions began on March 22, the statement said. Mount Redoubt rises 10,197 feet (3,108 meters) above the Kenai Peninsula, 106 miles (170 kilometers) southwest of Anchorage.
