AirAsia cancels, reschedules Jakarta flights as Anak Krakatau erupts

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 6 — AirAsia has cancelled or rescheduled several flights to and from Jakarta due to the ongoing eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau in Indonesia’s Sunda Strait, which has produced significant volcanic ash clouds. The airline warned that volcanic ash represents a substantial risk to aircraft safety, leading to operational adjustments for affected services whose flight routes could be impacted.

AirAsia promptly informed passengers about the changes to their flight status and provided options for recovery. The company stated that it is working diligently to ensure passengers can resume their journeys safely on the next available flight. The airline emphasized that the situation is still evolving and urged travelers to verify their flight status before embarking on their journey.

AirAsia continues to closely monitor the volcanic activity at Mount Anak Krakatau and will issue updates to its travel advisory once normal operations resume. Passengers can check the current status of their flights on the AirAsia website or reach out to the airline’s customer support team for additional help.
