'Very modest'
However Mark Beattie, from Belfast City Airport, said that so far the disruption has been "very modest".
"We've had one cancellation so far to Dundee and a few delays, but we're hoping that business can continue as normally as possible," he said.
Mr Beattie urged passengers to find out the latest information by visiting the airport's website or using Twitter or Ffacebook.
Debra Harris from Belfast International Airport said that disruption was concentrated on flights into and out of Scotland but all passengers should keep in touch with their airlines.
"We've had cancellations on flights to Glasgow and Edinburgh," she said. "It's really unfortunate because it's such a very busy time of year."
Flights from City of Derry Airport to Dublin have been cancelled according to the airport's website.
The Civil Aviation Authority has said ash levels would be graded as low, medium or high, and airlines would be notified if levels reached medium or high.
Airlines would then consider whether to fly, according to risk assessments already carried out, the CAA added.
