The plan to use Kertajati Embarkation cannot be realized in the 2018 hajj season. Minister Lukman said a hajj embarkation airport would need to have a hajj dormitory nearby.


The hajj dormitory for West Java pilgrims is located in Bekasi, which is closer to Soekarno-Hatta Airport than Kertajati.


The Hajj Pilgrimage 2018 (1439 H) will be immediately held with the first departure starts on July 17.
