Jakarta airport closure extends following Anak Krakatau eruption

Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta international airport remains closed for a second day due to volcanic ash from the Mount Anak Krakatau eruption. The airport announced that all operations will be suspended until 18:00 local time today, September 27th. Seven other airports in the surrounding region have also been temporarily shut down as a result of the ongoing disruption. This closure significantly impacts travel across Indonesia and contributes to widespread travel disruptions within the area. Authorities are continuing to monitor the situation closely and assess the impact of the volcanic activity on air traffic.
