Flights suspended at Indonesia's main airport due to volcanic eruption
Mount Anak Krakatoa is an active volcano that sits in the Sunda Strait, between the islands of Java and Sumatra.
A volcanic eruption in Indonesia has left over 150,000 passengers stranded as six airports were temporarily suspended operations. The eruption of Anak Krakatau forced the closure of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, with 467 flights affected. Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi urged airlines to consider diverting flights to other airports and to expedite refunds for affected passengers.
Authorities have confirmed no tsunami warning linked to the volcanic activity, which is located in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra.
