"Based on the information provided by the airline, there were a number of canceled and delayed flights, from and to the three airports," he said in an official statement, Thursday, November 14.

Arie said that the airport will also continue to coordinate with airlines, the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG), Airnav, and the Airport Authority Office regarding flight status and current conditions.

Therefore, Arie said that prospective airplane ticket holders from and the three airports whose flights were affected could contact airlines to get further explanation for existing services.

The three airports are still operating, after no volcanic ash was found based on the Aerodrome observation carried out.
