Jember, East Java, Indonesia

🇮🇩 Jember Regency is a regency of East Java province, Indonesia. Its administrative capital is the urban area of Jember, which is the third largest urban area in East Java province (after Surabaya and Malang) but does not have municipality or city status as it is split between three separate districts. Jember is famous for its tobacco farms and traditional food called tape which is made of fermented cassava.

Jember Regency has a total area of 3,306.69 km². It shares its borders with the regencies of Lumajang (to the west), Probolinggo, Bondowoso and Situbondo (to the north), and Banyuwangi (to the east). To the south lies the Indian Ocean, where the regency includes the island of Nusa Barong, located to the south of Java.

Jember Fashion Carnival The Jember Fashion Carnaval is an annual event. In the tenth carnival in 2011, over 600 participants walked along the world's longest catwalk. It ran for 3.6 km (2.2 mi), along Jalan P.B. Sudirman (Central Park) and Jalan Gajah Mada up to the Jember Sport Hall.

Airport The dormant Notohadinegoro Airport was verified for use/operational in 2014. The airport has 1,705 meters runway and is ready to serve up to ATR 72/600. The airport has been closed since April 2020 with no plans to reopen. High jet fuel prices and a lack of demand make Notohadinegoro Airport unprofitable for domestic airlines.
