  "account": "On September 6, 2026, 209 scheduled flights at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport were cancelled due to the ash eruption from Mount Anak Krakatau. The cancellations included 160 domestic flights, 39 international flights, and 10 cargo flights, according to Yudistiawan, Assistant Deputy for Communication & Legal Affairs at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. The airport is working with relevant stakeholders to manage the impact of the temporary closure, adjusting flight schedules and handling passengers. Operational recovery measures will be implemented gradually, considering volcanic ash status and flight safety. To support affected passengers, an SRA protocol was activated, providing food, light refreshments, and bus transportation to hotels. A command post was opened at Terminal 1B to streamline coordination and meet passenger needs. AirNav Indonesia updated aeronautical information, extending temporary flight closures for Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Halim Perdanakusuma Airport, and Radin Inten II Airport due to volcanic ash.",
