AirAsia reschedules flights to Jakarta as volcanic ash closes airport

AirAsia has adjusted flight schedules to and from Jakarta, Indonesia, following the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau and the subsequent volcanic ash cloud detected at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. The low-cost carrier canceled or rescheduled several services, citing the potential danger volcanic ash posed to aircraft safety.

AirAsia promptly alerted passengers about their flight status and recovery options, urging them to verify updates through the airline's website or contact customer support. Reuters reported that the suspension of flights at the airport affected 33 flights, including international services. Mount Anak Krakatau's eruption continued into Sunday, with volcanic ash detected at the airport early on the day, according to the transportation ministry.
