  "summary": "AirAsia has resumed the majority of its flights that were disrupted by the Anak Krakatau volcanic eruption, following the reopening of Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport on September 8, 2026. The airport had been closed since September 6 due to volcanic ash clouds, which posed a significant threat to safe aircraft operations in the vicinity of the volcanic clouds. AirAsia stated that all affected guests have been notified of their flight status and recovery options, and passengers are advised to check their latest flight status on the airline’s website, as the weather situation remains fluid. Two flights on September 8, 2026, were excluded from the resumed services.",
