41 flights to Jakarta cancelled at airports nationwide
The cancellations followed the temporary closure of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport after volcanic ash from the Anak Krakatau eruption affected flight operations.
Thai Airways halts Bangkok-Jakarta flights due to volcanic ash over Indonesian airports. The airline suspends TG433 from Bangkok and TG434 from Jakarta to ensure passenger and aviation safety. The ash cloud has settled on Jakarta and nearby regions since the Mount Anak Krakatau volcanic eruption late Friday. Indonesian airports extended the closure of their four main airports until 6pm local time on Monday, while Atung Bungsu Airport began operations again at 9am.
The initial closure included Soekarno-Hatta, Halim Perdanakusuma, Radin Inten II, Husein Sastranegara, Budiarto, Pondok Cabe, Muhammad Taufiq Kiemas, and Atung Bungsu airports. By 9am on Monday, around 2,300 flights and 270,337 passengers were disrupted, according to Indonesia's Transport Ministry. A series of eruptions occurred on September 5, with the volcano emitting ash up to 6,000 meters on the Java side and up to 15,000 meters on the Sumatra side.
Authorities are uncertain when the airports will reopen due to fluctuating weather conditions. Singapore Airlines suspended its flights to Jakarta, and AirAsia canceled or rescheduled several routes, advising passengers to verify their flight statuses before traveling.
