JAKARTA - Indonesia’s Soekarno-Hatta international airport suspended flight operations until 9.30am (10.30am Singapore time) on Sept 6 due to volcanic ash from the ongoing eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau, Jakarta’s main airport posted on Instagram.
The suspension, extending a halt that had been scheduled until 5.30am, has affected 33 flights, including several international flights, Indonesia’s transportation ministry said.
Mount Anak Krakatau has erupted since late on Sept 4, with volcanic ash detected in the airport early on Sept 5, the ministry said in a statement.
