Garuda Indonesia officials are advising Hajj pilgrims departing from YIA 12 to refrain from including power banks in their checked baggage. This guidance was delivered by Passenger Handling representative, Taufik Akbar, at the Amir Muhammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport. The warning aims to prevent potential safety risks associated with lithium batteries during air travel. Power banks are permitted in carry-on luggage, but must adhere to specific size and capacity regulations. Passengers are encouraged to familiarize themselves with airline policies regarding restricted items. This preventative measure seeks to ensure a safe and smooth departure for Indonesian pilgrims embarking on their journey to Mecca. Further details regarding acceptable items and baggage allowances are available from Garuda Indonesia representatives.
