A tsunami in 2018 caused by Anak Krakatau eruptions killed more than 400 on Java and Sumatra.
Anak Krakatau, which means child of Krakatau, is a volcanic island that emerged from the caldera formed by the gigantic 1883 explosion that destroyed the original Krakatau and killed more than 36,000 people in a series of tsunamis.
Ash reached as high as 6,000 metres on the Java side of the volcano and 15,000 metres on the Sumatra side, and in some parts of Banten province in Java, the meteorological agency BMKG posted on its website.
The airport closures Sunday and Monday disrupted nearly 2,961 flights, including 622 international services, and affected about 341,000 passengers.
