Indonesian Airports Reopen After Volcanic Ash Disrupts Thousands of Flights
Eight Indonesian airports, including Jakarta's main hub, reopened on Tuesday after being closed due to volcanic ash from Mount Ruang. The closures, which began over the weekend, disrupted nearly 3,000 flights and stranded over 340,000 passengers. Airlines such as Emirates and Etihad reported cancellations and delays for flights connecting to Jakarta. The disruption followed an eruption of Mount Ruang, which prompted evacuations and concerns about ash affecting air travel.
