  "summary": "Indonesia has reopened its main Jakarta airport, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, and four other airports after they were closed due to volcanic ash fall 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 150 kilometres from Jakarta, erupted on Saturday, spewing a fountain of lava and a plume of volcanic ash.\n\nThe Transport Ministry announced on Instagram that Jakarta's airport and the four other airports are now operating again, allowing airlines to resume flight operations and work to clear the backlog of stranded passengers.",
