Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport suspends all inbound and outbound flights because volcanic ash from Mount Anak Krakatau is spreading. Multiple outlets report the suspension is in effect as ash affects air operations around the Jakarta area.
The flight disruption includes cancellations and rescheduling of specific services. Channel NewsAsia reports that Singapore Airlines cancels two flights on Saturday and reschedules two more to and from Jakarta. Bloomberg adds that Indonesia also halts flights at airports in Lampung, citing ash reaching parts of Java and Sumatra.
Other coverage adds operational detail, including that an earlier planned suspension extends further. Free Malaysia Today says the suspension extends a halt scheduled until 5:30am and affects 33 flights. Across sources, the common focus is the airport-wide grounding linked to ash dispersion, with differences mainly in how they describe the timing and how many flights are affected.
