Indonesian volcanic ash grounds flights, closes eight airports including Jakarta
Indonesia’s Anak Krakatau volcano erupted on Sept. 4, spewing ash up to 17 kilometers into the atmosphere and forcing the closure of eight airports, including Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta, as of Monday. The disruption grounded about 2,300 flights and stranded more than 268,000 passengers, according to Indonesian authorities and Euronews .
Volcanic ash coated parts of Java and Sumatra, prompting schools in affected areas to shift to remote learning. The Geological Agency reported the 25-hour eruptive phase ended Sunday but warned of further activity in the coming days .
Dutch travelers were among those stranded, with KLM canceling flights to Jakarta for two days. A KLM spokesperson said passengers from canceled flights were being rebooked on the first available services, while ANVR, a Dutch travel industry association, confirmed dozens of Dutch tourists on organized tours were affected .
Indonesia’s transport minister told Reuters over 270,000 travelers had been impacted overall. The eruption, part of a series affecting six Indonesian volcanoes since late August, also exacerbated air quality issues, with ash falling alongside smoke from wildfires in Sumatra and Kalimantan .
