What are the airports closest to the disaster area that can handle large

One at Bandar Aceh; the runway was blocked by a cargo jet that
had struck debris - now cleared, and accepting flights. The other
airports are all smaller, from what I've heard.



Hopefully they are getting high-priority shipments of logistic
management gear; there was a report they were down to one operating
forklift. Yes, they had plenty of volunteer labor for unloading, but
that's slow and delays the turnaround of the transports.
