This search follows a volcanic event that lasted more than a day and sent ash clouds 50,000 feet into the air. While five airports including Jakarta's main gateway have reopened after nearly 3,000 flights were halted, the missing party remains unaccounted for. NASA satellites captured the eruption's scale, which was visible from space.Why it mattersAnak Krakatau is the active volcanic cone that emerged https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/thousands-stranded-as-anak-krakatau-eruption-shutters-indonesian-airportshttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/thousands-stranded-as-anak-krakatau-eruption-shutters-indonesian-airports#u61346Tue, 08 Sep 2026 11:30:45 +0000Flights to and from Indonesia are resuming after volcanic ash from the Anak Krakatau eruption forced a two-day closure of airports and halted nearly 3,000 flights. Authorities cleared ash from critical infrastructure, allowing five airports to reopen, including the main international gateway in Jakarta. The volcanic disruption stranded travellers, while schools in Jakarta and Lampung shifted to remote learning due to dangerous ash clouds reaching up to 50,000 feet. The eruption impacted Southeast Asia's second-busiest airport and disrupted hundreds of additional flights across the region.
