Indonesia is reopening parts of its airport network after volcanic ash from Mount Anak Krakatau forces closures and flight disruptions in western Indonesia. Multiple outlets report that the eruption led to shutdowns at several airports, including Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, stranding large numbers of passengers.

Coverage describes the disruption beginning early Sunday, with ash spreading over areas around Jakarta and affecting hundreds of flights. Figures cited across outlets vary, with reports mentioning more than 400 flights impacted and passenger numbers ranging from roughly 150,000 to more than 170,000 and up to about 350,000. Some reports describe the volcano continuing to be active even after the initial peak of disruptions.

As ash risk recedes, outlets say Indonesian aviation authorities reopen Jakarta and other airports, including Bandung, during the day. At least one report notes that fresh eruptions on Tuesday can still raise the possibility of further disruptions, indicating that operations remain contingent on ongoing ash monitoring. Airlines also reschedule affected flights, including AirAsia, as airports restore service.
