2 penerbangan ke Jakarta dilencong ke KLIA akibat letusan Anak Krakatau

KUALA LUMPUR: Two flights to Jakarta have been diverted to KLIA following the eruption of Anak Krakatau volcano, according to Malaysia's Civil Aviation Authority (CAAM). CAAM's Chief Executive Officer, Norazman Mahmud, announced that Malaysia is assisting Indonesia by allowing KLIA to serve as an alternate airport. At present, CAAM has received two diverted flights, including one from Oman in the morning and another from Saudi Arabia yesterday.

Indonesia has halted operations at eight airports, including Jakarta's main international airport, Soekarno-Hatta Airport, since volcanic ash from Anak Krakatau erupted last Friday. Around 170,000 passengers have been affected by cancelled flights so far.
