Indonesia gradually resumes flights after volcanic eruption

Euronews Portugal8 September 2026 at 08:14

Indonesia has gradually resumed flights following a volcanic eruption that caused disruptions to the country's air traffic. The gradual reprise of air operations indicates that the situation is slowly returning to normal.

The Indonesian archipelago is one of the countries with the highest volcanic activity in the world, with more than 120 active volcanoes within its territory. Eruptions are frequent events in the region.

This high volcanic activity is due to Indonesia's geographical location in the so-called "Pacific Ring of Fire." This is a seismic fault zone that surrounds the Pacific Ocean.

It is precisely in this region that most of the world's seismic activity is concentrated, which explains the frequency of eruptions and earthquakes in Indonesia and other countries located along this ring.
