Indonesia's main airport and four nearby airports reopened on Tuesday following several days of closures due to ash disruption from Mount Anak Krakatau, according to the country's Transport Ministry.

Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, which was particularly affected, resumed flight operations despite ongoing volcanic activity. Airlines now face the challenge of transporting stranded passengers to their destinations.
