Indonesia eruption closes 8 airports
The eruption of the Anak Krakatau volcano in Indonesia led to the suspension of activities at eight airports, including Soekarno Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, affecting approximately 150,000 travelers and 467 flights, both domestic and international. Volcanic ash emissions disrupted air traffic and posed a hazard to aircraft engines; authorities established exclusion zones and temporarily halted flights, warning of the danger ash presents to aviation and maritime navigation. The volcano has entered a new active phase, with two additional eruptions, and is located in the Sunda region between Java and Sumatra as part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area prone to frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
