Forty-three flights from Jakarta`s Soekarno-Hatta Airport to various destinations were delayed on Friday due to bad weather.
Continuous heavy rain which started on Friday morning forced the airport to temporarily close two of its runways, Haryanto, head of the branch office of PT Angkasa Pura II which operates the airport, said.
He said 12 flights from various cities were diverted to other airports.
Visibility was down to 300 meters, making it impossible for planes to land, he said.
