[Indonesia extends airport closure due to continued impact of volcanic activity] On September 7, as volcanic ash from the eruption of Krakatau volcano continued to disrupt various activities in Indonesia, Indonesia extended the closure of airports in some areas and stopped free school meal services in some areas. The Ministry of Transport said in a statement that as many as eight airports, including Jakarta's main gateway airport, will remain closed until 9 a.m. local time on Monday. The National Nutrition Agency said separately that schools that have switched to remote classes will suspend free school meals from Monday. The closure of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Indonesia's busiest airport and main international gateway, could have an impact on travel far beyond the capital. A prolonged closure could leave tens of thousands of passengers stranded and disrupt flights across the country and the region. State operator InJourney Airports said seven airports on the islands of Java, Bali and Sumatra have been designated as backup airports to support flight operations.
