Indonesia's Main Airport Suspends Flights After Anak Krakatau Eruption

Indonesia's busiest airport, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport near Jakarta, suspended flights after an eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau sent volcanic ash into the air, Al Jazeera reported.

The volcanic ash disrupted flight operations at the airport, which serves as the country's main international gateway.

Al Jazeera's report did not specify the duration of the suspension or the number of flights affected. Further details on the scale of the eruption and its broader impact on air travel in the region were not immediately available.

Anak Krakatau, meaning "Child of Krakatau," emerged from the site of the historic 1883 Krakatoa eruption, one of the most destructive volcanic events in recorded history, and has remained active in the decades since.
