Indonesia keeps several airports closed though volcanic eruption is easing
Asia-Pacific3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported4m ago
Indonesia has kept several airports closed and shifted schools to remote learning as ongoing disruptions persist following the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau, despite the volcanic activity subsiding. The continuous 25-hour eruption has halted thousands of flights, coated nearby areas in ash, and forced the extension of operational suspensions at multiple airports, including the main international hub serving Jakarta.
The widespread air travel disruptions have also affected neighboring international routes. Authorities in Malaysia reported that at least two Jakarta-bound long-haul flights from Oman and Saudi Arabia were diverted to Kuala Lumpur International Airport as a result of the volcanic activity across the Indonesian archipelago.
