A number of luggage of Hajj participants had to be left at King Abdul Aziz International Airport, Jeddah, for exceeding the maximum specified limit.
"Earlier I saw directly to the pavilion, there were still many Hajj participants who did not comply with the luggage," said Head of the Saudi Arabia Hajj Organizing Airport (PPIH), Haryanto, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, July 4.
Haryanto then showed a number of luggage of pilgrims who had to be abandoned by their owners because they exceeded their capacity, ranging fromzam water in both a gallon of 5 liters of bottles and packaging, food and drinks, clothing, souvenirs in the form of prayer mats, robes, to children's toys.
Haryanto also reminded that the congenital goods of the pilgrims allowed to enter the plane were large suitcases weighing a maximum of 32 kilograms (kg), 7 kg cabin bags or suitcases, and small spare bags for passports and other important documents.
"In addition, other bags must be left behind. If they are forced to be brought inside the gate, they cannot, goods that are outside the provisions will be prohibited from being brought," he said.
The luggage of the congregation who was left behind was then collected and taken to the Saudi Arabian PPIH Airport Daker Office. The goods will later be reported to the leadership for further action.
"This is included in the category of scattered goods, later we will make it a report to the leadership for the next time whether these items will be donated or donated or donated," said Haryanto.
He also appealed to the congregation not to try to storezamam water in a large suitcase that was put in baggage because of flight provisions, all liquid objects includingzamam water were prohibited from entering baggage.
"Because during the x-ray examination process in Saudi warehouses there were many large suitcases containingzam water, so all of them were dismantled. The congregation was summoned and asked to remove the Azamz water from the suitcase itself," he said.
Meanwhile, the wheelchair belonging to the congregation who will be brought back to the country must be put in the trunk of the plane. Before entering the trunk, the wheelchair must first be wrapped or wrapped at the airport.
