AirNav says airport closures as safety mitigation amid Krakatau ash

AirNav Indonesia, the state-owned flight navigation service provider, announced the temporary closure of six airports across Indonesia as a safety measure following the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau. The closures aim to mitigate risks posed by the spread of volcanic ash in the airspace. AirNav Indonesia's corporate secretary, Hermana Soegijantoro, stated that the decision was based on ongoing monitoring of volcanic ash distribution and airspace conditions. The affected airports include major hubs such as Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) and Husein Sastranegara Airport (BDO). The Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) reported that volcanic ash has spread to multiple regions, including Banten, Jakarta, West Java, Lampung, and Bengkulu. AirNav continues to update aeronautical information and coordinate with aviation stakeholders to ensure safe operations.
