  "summary": "Indonesia's main airport in Jakarta and four others have reopened after being closed due to volcanic ash from Mount Anak Krakatau. The closures, which began over the weekend, disrupted nearly 3,000 flights and left more than 340,000 passengers stranded, according to the Transport Ministry.\n\nThe ministry reported that eight airports had halted operations after ash was detected in their airspace. Mount Anak Krakatau, located about 150km from Jakarta, erupted on Saturday, spewing lava and volcanic ash.\n\nJakarta's main airport, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, and the other four airports are now operating again, according to the Transport Ministry's Instagram posts. The airport closures had been repeatedly extended before finally reopening. Airlines now face the task of getting stranded passengers onto planes and to their intended destinations.",
