Jeddah is not a miqat
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Some scholars issue a ruling to those coming for Hajj by air that they should enter the state of ihram from Jeddah, while others deny this. What is the correct view in this matter? Please give us a ruling, and may Allah reward you.
Answer: It is obligatory for all pilgrims, whether traveling by air, sea, or land, to enter the state of ihram from the miqat they pass by on land, or which they pass by in the air or at sea. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when he designated the miqats:Sahih Muslim 1181a This hadith is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
As for Jeddah, it is not a miqat for those arriving from elsewhere, but rather it is a miqat for its residents and for those who visit it without intending to perform Hajj or 'Umrah, and then they initiate Hajj or 'Umrah from there.

and those (Mawaqit) are also meant for those who live at these (places) and for those too who come from without towards them for the sake of Hajj or 'Umra
