A huge cloud of ash billowing from Montserrat volcano, Soufriere, forced the suspension of some international flights over the Caribbean yesterday, airline and airport officials said.

Flights between Venezuela and Miami were grounded, as well those to and from the Dutch island of Aruba, after a dome atop a volcano on Montserrat island collapsed Saturday, sending volcanic debris cascading down the mountain and shooting ashes ten miles (16 kilometres) into the sky.

The decreased visibility over the Caribbean forced Venezuelan carrier Aeropostal to suspend its flights yesterday between Caracas and Miami, Aeropostal vice president Juan Carlos Blanco told The Associated Press. Aeropostal flights to Aruba, Cuba, Curacao and the Dominican Republic were also grounded.

There were no injuries reported on Montserrat, an island with a population of about 5,000, although authorities there on Saturday said residents should remain indoors as ash fell from the sky.

The dome had been building since August and formed the highest part of the 3,000-foot (920-metre) Soufriere Hills volcano.
