Authorities have cleared volcanic ash from key systems at five airports, allowing them to resume operations following disruptions caused by the hazardous airborne particles. The move comes after assessments confirmed that critical infrastructure, including runways and navigation equipment, had been sufficiently cleared to ensure safe travel. Passengers and airlines had faced delays and cancellations as a precautionary measure while the cleanup was underway. The reopening marks a significant step toward restoring normal air travel in the affected regions.
