AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoVolcanic Travel Disruption: Indonesia reopened Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta and four nearby airports after Anak Krakatau ash eased, but authorities still had to check aircraft airworthiness and keep two hubs closed; overall, ash disrupted thousands of flights and left about 341,000 travellers affected across eight airports and 2,961 flights. Airport Operations & Passenger Support: Transport officials said reopening depended on wind and runway readiness, while airport operators deployed free buses to move stranded passengers across Java. Foreign Traveller Relief: Immigration issued free emergency stay permits (up to 30 days) and waived overstay fees for foreigners stuck by cancellations/diversions. Regional Impact: Airlines across the region cancelled or rescheduled Jakarta services, and travellers faced uncertainty as closures were repeatedly extended. Tourism Boost (Non-crisis): Garuda launched a 170,000-seat free domestic flight promo for eligible international arrivals, encouraging multi-stop trips beyond Jakarta and Bali.
