With the approach of the 2025 Islamic pilgrimage season Hajj, Saudia is offering non-stop services to support pilgrims.
The Hajj season is expected to take place from June 4 to 9, depending on lunar observations.
Saudia's non-stop services from New York, Washington, Toronto, and Los Angeles offers a simply entry point from the US and Canada to Jeddah, Riyadh and Medina.
In addition, Saudia said it will act as a “comprehensive Hajj service provider” and is expanding its offerings beyond air travel such as “high-tech” garments to protect from harsh heat as well as business class-style beds and dedicated rest areas inspired by its lounge facilities at the holy sites.
The airline is allocating over one million seats across its fleet of 158 aircraft to the religious season.
“With a projected market share of up to 35%, the airline will serve pilgrims from over 100 global destinations,” Saudia read in a statement.
The airline said it is coordinating extensively with public and private sector partners to ensure smooth operations to serve pilgrims.
