2 penerbangan ke Jakarta dilencong ke KLIA akibat letusan Anak Krakatau

KUALA LUMPUR: Two flights to Jakarta were rerouted to KLIA due to the eruption of Anak Krakatau volcano, reported the Malaysian Civil Aviation Authority (CAAM). CAAM's Chief Executive Officer, Norazman Mahmud, stated that Malaysia is assisting Indonesia by allowing KLIA to serve as an alternative airport. As of now, two flights have been diverted, according to him during the 61st Civil Aviation Authorities Meeting for Rantau Asia and Pacific.

He added that one flight from Oman was rerouted to KLIA this morning, while another from Saudi Arabia was delayed yesterday. Indonesia is grounding operations at eight airports, including Jakarta's main international gateway, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, since ash from Anak Krakatau erupted and rained down on parts of Java and Sumatra last Friday. Around 170,000 passengers have been affected by the cancellations so far.
