Major international airlines, including Emirates and Qatar Airways, have been forced to suspend operations to and from Jakarta this Monday, September 7, 2026. The move comes as Soekarno–Hatta International Airport faces temporary closure due to dense volcanic ash clouds spreading from Mount Anak Krakatau. Following a series of eruptions that began late Friday, the ash has blanketed the region, prompting authorities to shut down eight Indonesian airports to ensure the safety of passengers and flight crews.

Emirates confirmed the cancellation of multiple daily flights between Dubai and Jakarta, while Qatar Airways similarly grounded its services between Doha and the Indonesian capital. Singapore International Airlines has also joined the list of carriers halting travel, with cancellations affecting flights scheduled for both Monday and Tuesday. The airlines are urging travelers to monitor their flight status closely before heading to the airport and are offering rebooking options for those impacted by the ongoing safety restrictions.
