TANGERANG: Minister of Communications Agum Gumelar officiated
on Friday the inauguration of the special airport terminal for
haj pilgrims at the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. It is
set to receive pilgrims on Feb. 6.

Agum was accompanied by Minister of Religious Affairs Said
Agil Al Munawar and the director of airport operator PT Angkasa
Pura II, Eddy Haryoto.

The 3,750-square-meter terminal was formerly the Indonesian
Air Show compound. According to Eddy, the terminal can
accommodate 1,500 haj pilgrims.

"God willing, there will be no illegal fees here, not like the
neighboring Terminal III for overseas migrant workers," Said Agil
told reporters. -- JP
