Anak Krakatau Erupts: 2,300 Flights Hit, 2.7 Lakh Passengers Stranded | Indonesia | News9

Indonesia is facing a major aviation disruption as Mount Anak Krakatau erupts, sending volcanic ash into the skies and forcing airports to shut down. Seven airports have reportedly been affected, including two serving Jakarta, while around 2,300 flights have been delayed, diverted or cancelled — impacting more than 2.7 lakh passengers. But why is volcanic ash so dangerous for aircraft? Fine particles of volcanic rock and glass can enter jet engines, melt under extreme temperatures and damage critical components, potentially causing engine failure. Ash can also affect cockpit windows, sensors and other aircraft systems. #AnakKrakatau #Krakatau #Indonesia #VolcanoEruption #VolcanicAsh #FlightCancellations #Jakarta #Aviation #Volcano #IndonesiaNews..............................................................................................
