Jakarta flights resume, Yogyakarta on hold
Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific and nine other airlines have resumed flights to Jakarta, lifting a suspension of flights due to fears of ash from erupting Mount Merapi.
Mt. Merapi, Indonesia’s most active volcano, has spewed ash for two weeks, forcing the evacuation of 280,000 people living within 20 kms of its crater.
Merapi is located 550kms from Jakarta, but the volcanic ash from the eruptions has blown west, reaching as far as the West Java capital of Bandung, which is 400 kilometers away.
Yogyakarta’s Adisucipto International Airport remains closed as volcanic ash continues to affect the air quality at the airport.
National flag carrier Garuda Indonesia has suspended flights to Yogyakarta from Sunday until Tuesday for safety reasons.
