JAKARTA - The Saudi Arabian government inaugurated the fourth terminal of the Makkah Route Initiative in Indonesia.
The inauguration was carried out at the Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport in Makassar, South Sulawesi, simultaneously with the departure of the first flight of pilgrims to the Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah.
Reported by ANTARA from SPA, Wednesday, April 22, this initiative aims to provide high-quality services for pilgrims from participating countries before arriving in Saudi Arabia.
The program allows pilgrims to complete procedures in their home countries, ranging from issuing a Hajj visa electronically to recording biometric data.
The immigration process by the Saudi Directorate General of Passports is also carried out at the departure airport after verification of health requirements.
In addition, luggage is labeled and sorted according to the transportation and accommodation arrangements in Saudi Arabia.
With this system, pilgrims can directly go to the bus that takes them to their residence in Mecca and Medina, while luggage is sent separately by the relevant parties.
