What happened
Hundreds of flights were cancelled and thousands of passengers disrupted at Soekarno-Hatta Airport in Jakarta on Sunday after its shutdown was extended into the afternoon. The closure had already been extended to 1:30 p.m. local time, with a further extension still possible.
Singapore Airlines cancelled its Singapore to Jakarta flights for the day, including SQ950. Rebooking cancelled passengers after CGK reopens is expected to take more than a day.
Holders of award or paid tickets through Jakarta are exposed to same-day cancellations. Keep checking airline and airport channels rather than relying on a posted reopen time.
