The government ordered flights to and from Malang cancelled on Monday after smoke from nearby Mount Bromo covered the East Java city.

Transportation Ministry spokesman Bambang Ervan said the cancellation of flight service began at 10 a.m. Monday and would last for five days. 

Passengers were advised to use Juanda International Airport in Surabaya in lieu of Abdurrahman Saleh airport in Malang, as reported by news portal kompas.com,

There have been several minor eruptions from Mt. Bromo recently.
