Singapore Airlines Cancels Multiple Jakarta Flights as Mount Anak Krakatau Volcano Erupts; Check Details

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has cancelled multiple flights connecting Singapore and Jakarta on Sunday, September 6, 2026, following heightened volcanic activity and ash plume risks from Indonesia’s Mount Anak Krakatau. The decision comes as regional aviation authorities monitor spreading volcanic ash clouds that pose severe safety risks to aircraft engines and atmospheric visibility.

Mount Anak Krakatau, located in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra, began a fresh phase of intense eruptions over the weekend, sending thick plumes of ash thousands of feet into the atmosphere. The resulting ash dispersion prompted immediate precautionary measures across regional air corridors.
