The eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau is impacting flight operations at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Indonesia, causing delays for thousands of Umrah pilgrims. The Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (Kemenhaj) confirms mitigation efforts are underway to address the disruption. Approximately 3,450 Umrah pilgrims are currently affected by the flight delays due to the volcanic ash. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely and working to ensure the safety of all travelers. Further updates will be provided as the volcanic activity and its impact on air travel evolve. The ashfall poses a risk to aircraft engines, necessitating the flight postponements. Kemenhaj is prioritizing the welfare of the pilgrims and seeking alternative arrangements where possible.
