Domestic air services in Indonesia are being affected by eruptions from a volcano in Sumatra that has been dormant for four centuries.
On successive days this week, the volcano has been shooting clouds of hot ash more than a mile into the air and forcing 30,000 people to flee.
Some domestic airplanes had to be diverted because of poor visibility.
Many villagers living along the slopes of Mount Sinabung have packed their belongings and headed to emergency shelters, mosques and churches.
Sinabung last erupted in 1600. Observers don’t know its eruption pattern but there are fears it has the potential to be destructive.
