More airlines cancel flights to Jakarta after Mount Anak Krakatau eruption

Mount Anak Krakatau's recent eruption has forced the suspension of operations at Soekarno-Hatta international airport in Jakarta. As a result, multiple Malaysian airlines have canceled flights to and from the Indonesian capital. Malaysia Airlines and Batik Air have each canceled a total of 20 flights scheduled for the day. AirAsia also followed suit, announcing that it would be cancelling or rescheduling a number of flights.

Passenger concerns are understandable given the evolving situation, with the threat of further volcanic activity. Airlines are urging travelers to check their flight status through official channels or contact customer support for assistance.
