Pope Francis departs Rome for 12-day tour across Southeast Asia

Pope Francis left Rome on Monday, September 2, for Jakarta, where the 87-year-old leader of the global Catholic Church will start an ambitious 12-day tour to four countries in Southeast Asia.

The flight carrying the pope and his entourage left Fiumicino airport for an overnight flight of more than 13 hours to the Indonesian capital.

The pope will be in Indonesia until Friday, September 6. He is then scheduled to visit Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Singapore before returning to Rome on Sept. 13.

The pontiff is set to travel nearly 33,000 km (20,500 miles) throughout the visit, and will headline more than 40 events.
