  "account": "Singapore Airlines (SIA) cancelled 19 flights between Singapore and Jakarta yesterday due to volcanic activity from the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau in Indonesia. The affected flights were scheduled to operate between Changi Airport and Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. SIA warned that other flights between Singapore and Indonesia may also be impacted as the situation is still evolving. The airline advised customers to check their Flight Status page for the most recent information on their flights.\n\nSIA's budget subsidiary, Scoot, also cancelled 12 flights scheduled for the same day, as a precautionary measure following the eruption. The airline has contacted affected customers to inform them of the changes to their travel plans. Mount Anak Krakatau has been erupting since Friday, causing volcanic ash to spread. This ash led to the temporary closure of six major airports in Indonesia, including Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.",
