UAE-Jakarta flights update: Emirates, Etihad flights cancelled, delayed after volcanic ash disrupts airport

## Emirates and Etihad Flights Affected

Flights between the UAE and Jakarta have been significantly disrupted due to volcanic ash from Indonesia's Anak Krakatau. This has led to the temporary closure of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta.

Emirates has cancelled several flights between Dubai and Jakarta for September 6 and 7. Passengers are advised to check their flight status and contact the airline or their travel agency for rebooking options.

Etihad Airways has also faced delays. The Abu Dhabi to Jakarta flight on September 6 and the return flight on September 7 were both delayed. Passengers should verify their flight status before heading to the airport.

## Impact of Volcanic Activity

The volcanic activity at Anak Krakatau has resulted in ash spreading towards Jakarta, affecting air travel. Indonesia's main airport in Jakarta is expected to remain closed until at least 6pm local time on Monday, impacting hundreds of flights and approximately 170,000 passengers.

## Advice for Travelers

Travelers between the UAE and Jakarta should stay informed about their flight status as schedules may change rapidly. Monitoring airline communications and official updates is crucial. Those affected by cancellations should reach out to their airline or travel agency for assistance.
