Indonesia’s Anak Krakatoa volcano erupted on Saturday, ejecting ash and lava that disrupted air travel across the region. By Sunday, authorities were forced to suspend operations at the main international airport serving Jakarta, located more than 150 kilometers from the eruption site. The volcanic activity resulted in the cancellation of more than 500 flight movements, impacting thousands of passengers across at least six airports. The disruption highlights the significant logistical challenges posed by volcanic ash clouds to major aviation hubs in the Indonesian archipelago.
