SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) said on Saturday it was cancelling flights to and from Jakarta because of the violent eruption of Indonesia's most active volcano.
'Due to volcanic ash from Mount Merapi in Indonesia, flights to and from Jakarta are being temporarily suspended,' SIA said in a brief update on its website.
Those with queries can call +65 62238888 (Singapore) or +62 21 52997888 (Indonesia).
SIA said that updates about flights for Nov 7 will be provided as additional information becomes available.
Merapi killed 85 people in its latest eruption on Friday, with scores more suffering severe burns.
The latest deaths bring the overall toll to 128 since the volcano started erupting on Oct 26.
