Jakarta airport extends closure after volcano eruption

Jakarta's main airport and three others remained closed on Monday, September 7, 2026, after Mount Anak Krakatau erupted, causing volcanic ash to disrupt air traffic. The eruption, located approximately 150 kilometers from Jakarta, led to the cancellation or delay of over 240 domestic and international flights, affecting nearly 30,000 passengers. The Indonesian transport ministry reported that more than 270,000 passengers had been impacted since September 5, with eight airports initially closing over the weekend. Some airports, including Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and Halim Perdanakusuma, extended their closures, while one smaller airport in south Sumatra reopened. Officials warned that the risk of further eruptions remains high, highlighting potential hazards such as incandescent rock ejections and lava flows.
