Indonesia gradually resumed air traffic after a volcanic eruption that caused the paralysis of the country's airports. The suspension of operations left more than 340 thousand passengers stranded, unable to continue their travels.
Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta began receiving aircraft again. On Tuesday morning, about 178 aircraft were on the airport's runways, indicating the beginning of the air transport normalization operation in the region.
The volcanic eruption forced authorities to close the main airports of the Indonesian archipelago as a security measure, given the risks represented by volcanic ash for air navigation. The decision affected thousands of passengers who were waiting for the normalization of services.
With the improvement of atmospheric conditions and the reduction of risks related to volcanic ash, airports began to resume their operations gradually, releasing flights that had been canceled or delayed during the shutdown period.
