Saudi Arabia’s fast-growing low-cost airline will highlight its commitment to serving pilgrims and supporting the Kingdom’s Hajj ecosystem
Jeddah : flyadeal, Saudia Group’s fast-growing low-cost carrier and one of the largest low-cost airlines in the GCC, participates in the sixth edition of the Hajj Conference and Exhibition, highlighting its growing role in supporting pilgrim travel to Saudi Arabia and contributing to the Kingdom’s Hajj and Umrah sector.
The annual Hajj Conference and Exhibition brings together stakeholders from government entities, international organisations, private and non-profit sectors to showcase the latest solutions and initiatives, forge strategic partnerships, exchange expertise, with the aim of raising the quality of services for pilgrims and support the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
Through its participation, flyadeal will showcase its role in supporting the Hajj & Umrah sector, drawing on its expanding domestic and international network, operational capabilities, a growing fleet, and new products and services. This includes ‘flyadeal Connections’, a new connecting-flight product that has significantly expanded destination options for customers transiting with flyadeal via its Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, and Madinah hubs, as well as ‘Time to Think’, a flexible feature that allows customers to cancel within 24 hours and receive a full refund when travel is at least seven days away, giving greater peace of mind when planning trips
With Jeddah serving as a key gateway for international pilgrims travelling to Makkah, and Madinah welcoming visitors to the Prophet’s Mosque, flyadeal continues to strengthen connectivity to the Holy Cities while working with industry stakeholders to support the evolving needs of Hajj and Umrah travellers.
“Serving pilgrims is an important responsibility, and one we take great pride in. We recognise the vital role airlines play in supporting their journeys to the Holy Cities. During the 2026 Hajj season we carried more than 145,000 pilgrims from 13 countries, taking the total number of pilgrims we have transported since beginning Hajj operations to over 600,000. Our commitment to the sector remains unwavering, and we continue to invest in better connectivity, smoother operations and greater flexibility so every pilgrim’s journey is as seamless as possible. Through this work we also reaffirm our strong commitment to Saudi Vision 2030 and the growth of the Kingdom’s religious tourism sector.”

The event provides a platform to exchange expertise, explore partnerships and advance initiatives aimed at enhancing the services provided to pilgrims.
