Hajj transfer operation ends with dispatch of 86,700 Iranians

The head of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization announced the completion of the operation to transport Iranian pilgrims to the Land of Revelation in the coming hours and said: The last flight of pilgrims will arrive at Jeddah Airport this evening, June 10, with 300 passengers, and the operation to send 86,700 of our country's pilgrims to Saudi Arabia will end.

According to the Hajj and Pilgrimage Information Center; Alireza Bayat, stating that the flight of Iranian pilgrims for Hajj Tamattu to the Land of Revelation began on May 15, announced: A total of 347 flights were made from different provinces of our country to the three airports of Medina, Jeddah and Taif, of which 80% of the transfer volume was carried out by our country's airline and 20% by the Saudi fleet.

 

He pointed out that the average flight delay in this year's expeditions was less than 7 minutes and said: This arrangement is a very positive event compared to previous years, as we were able to create greater satisfaction for pilgrims by using limited foreign airlines and reducing pressure on the domestic fleet.

 

Referring to the departure of the last group of Iranian pilgrims present in Medina to Mecca, the head of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization said: "Tomorrow night, June 11, our last convoy will depart for Mecca by the Haramain train, and the "Medina Qabal" operation will end, and 86,700 Iranian pilgrims in the form of 585 convoys in the city of Mecca will prepare to enter the days of Tashreeq and attend the holy ceremonies."
