Saudia has successfully concluded Hajj Season operations marking the end of a 74-day journey.
Saudi Arabia’s national flag carrier final flight departed from Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madina, carrying 320 pilgrims to Magelang, Indonesia.
A farewell ceremony was held at the airport’s departure hall in the presence of Mohammed Baakdah, the Vice President of Ground Operations at Saudia.
“The success of Hajj Season 1445H operations is a testament to the dedication and teamwork of our entire staff. We worked tirelessly throughout this busy period, including holidays and Eid, to ensure our guests had a safe and fulfilling experience,” said Mohammed Baakdah, the Vice President of Ground Operations at Saudia.
The airline said it maintained a high level of operational efficiency, achieving exceptional on-time performance despite the challenges of coinciding the Hajj season with peak summer season 2024 operations.
“We are grateful for the cooperation of all Hajj-related authorities and look forward to building on this success as we begin planning for Hajj Season 1446H,” added Baakdah.
The airline offered a comprehensive array of quality services designed to enhance the pilgrims’ spiritual journey.
These services included digital platforms to streamline the travel process, facilitation at airports to expedite procedures, exceptional in-flight services and catering, and informative programs on the in-flight entertainment screens in multiple languages
