PHIndonesia has reopened its main Jakarta airport and four other airports that were closed due to volcanic ash from eruptions at Mount Anak Krakatau. The ash, which blanketed Jakarta and surrounding areas, led to the closure of eight airports, affecting around 341,000 travelers and causing 2,961 flight delays, diversions, or cancellations. Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi stated that Soekarno-Hatta Airport resumed operations after winds dispersed the ash, while four additional airports also reopened. One airport had already reopened on Monday, and two remained closed. Authorities are still assessing the airworthiness of 178 planes stored at Soekarno-Hatta during the closure. Anak Krakatau, an active volcano with a history dating back over a century, is part of Indonesia's 130 active volcanoes located along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
