Emirates will add 31 flights to Jeddah and double daily flights to Medina from June 23 to July 20 to help transport pilgrims for this year’s Hajj.
The special services are available to travellers holding a valid Hajj visa, a press release said on Wednesday.
Pilgrims must also be under the age of 65, hold a valid vaccination certificate with a vaccine authorised by the Saudi Ministry of Health, and must also carry a negative PCR test done within 72 hours of departure.
In Dubai, Emirates has a special Hajj airport team to help manage check-in, transfers, and helping to facilitate a seamless and convenient on ground experience for Hajj pilgrims.
Emirates has also set up dedicated check-in and transfer counters for Hajj passengers transiting in Dubai.
