Jakarta Airports Reopen After Volcanic Ash Crisis

On September 7, 2026, Jakarta's main airport and four others reopened after being closed by ash from the Anak Krakatau volcano. The eruption forced airlines including Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Thai Airways to cancel flights to the Indonesian capital. Malaysians were advised to check flight status, and Singapore Airlines added eight relief flights between Jakarta and Singapore. The closures had disrupted travel across Southeast Asia.
