Soekarno-Hatta Airport resumes operations after Anak Krakatau volcanic ash disruption

volcanic ash airport reopening Anak Krakatau eruption flight cancellations aviation safety

Major Indonesian airports, including Soekarno-Hatta, Halim Perdanakusuma, and Husein Sastranegara, resumed flight operations on September 8, 2026, following temporary closures due to volcanic ash from Mount Anak Krakatau. The resumption follows a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) issued by AirNav Indonesia after safety assessments and cleaning of runways, taxiways, and aprons.

The eruption caused significant disruption to the aviation sector, with reports indicating nearly 3,000 flights were affected and over 340,000 passengers stranded over the weekend. Lion Air Group alone reported 275 flight cancellations.

While major hubs in Jakarta and Bandung have reopened, some regional airports, such as Radin Inten II in Lampung and others in Pandeglang, remained closed as of early Tuesday. Airlines like Citilink have begun gradually normalizing routes, including the Jakarta-Bandung service, while authorities continue to monitor volcanic activity and air quality.
