00:01Indonesia has reopened its main Jakarta airport and four other airports after they were temporarily closed due to volcanic ash
00:09from a series of eruptions at Mount Anak Krakatau.
00:13Transport Minister Dudipurwagandhi said Sukarno-Hatta International Airport resumed operations on Tuesday, after winds blew volcanic ash away from the
00:22surrounding area.
00:23Flight Tracking Service Flightradar24 showed air traffic beginning to pick up at around 5 a.m. Jakarta time.
00:31Anak Krakatau, located between Java and Sumatra, has been spewing ash since its initial eruption late last Friday.
00:38The volcanic ash blanketed Jakarta and surrounding areas, prompting the closure of eight airports on safety grounds.
00:45The disruption affected more than 340,000 travelers.
00:49Four other airports, including a smaller airport in Jakarta and one in neighboring Bandung, have also resumed operations.
