Imbas Abu Anak Krakatau: 108 Penerbangan Bali Batal, 13 Ribu Orang Terdampak

Eruption of Anak Krakatau on September 6-7, 2026 caused volcanic ash to disrupt air travel in Indonesia. Over 13,000 passengers at Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali were affected, with 108 flight schedules canceled or rescheduled. The disruption primarily impacted routes between Bali and Java, especially connections to Soekarno-Hatta (Jakarta), Halim Perdanakusuma (Jakarta), and Husein Sastranegara (Bandung). Airspace closures in Banten, West Java, and Lampung due to volcanic ash led to 43 canceled arrivals from Soekarno-Hatta, 5 canceled from Halim, and 3 canceled from Husein Sastranegara. From Bali, 51 departures to Soekarno-Hatta, 3 to Halim, and 3 to Husein Sastranegara were canceled. Despite the disruptions, airport operations and domestic/international flights continued normally. The airport provided food and drinks to stranded passengers and advised checking flight status updates via airlines and the InJourney Airports hotline (172).
