KRIndonesian authorities have reopened major airports in Jakarta and four others that were closed due to volcanic ash from eruptions at Mount Anak Krakatau. The ash, which blanketed Jakarta and surrounding areas since late Friday, led to the closure of eight airports, affecting over 340,000 travelers. Transport Minister Dudy Purwagandhi stated that Soekarno-Hatta International Airport resumed operations on Tuesday after winds dispersed the ash. Four additional airports, including those in Jakarta and Bandung, also reopened, while two remain closed. Officials are still assessing the airworthiness of 178 planes affected during the closure. Chief Infrastructure Minister Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono reported that around 341,000 people were impacted by flight delays, diversions, or cancellations involving 2,961 flights. Anak Krakatau, an active volcano with historical significance, is part of Indonesia's 130 active volcanoes located along the Pacific Ring of Fire.
