A total of 390 prospective hajj pilgrims (JCH) from Batch 4 of Aceh Embarkation were dispatched to the Holy Land via Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport, Aceh Besar, on Saturday (9/5/2026) at 04:40 WIB. This batch primarily consisted of pilgrims from Langsa City (197 people) and Banda Aceh (185 people), accompanied by 4 officers from PPIH (Hajj Organizing Committee for Indonesian Pilgrims) and 2 Regional Hajj Officers. Public attention was focused on the elderly pilgrim, Rahmah Sali Binti Sali (101 years old) from Langsa City, who was recorded as the oldest hajj pilgrim throughout Aceh. She was declared to have met the health and administrative requirements, was accompanied by her son (58 years old), and was still able to carry out activities independently.
