Saudia, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, has entered into a “new era” in Hajj travel.
With a bold and visionary approach, the airline is transforming the pilgrimage experience for 2025 and beyond — not only as a carrier but as a complete service partner for pilgrims worldwide.
This year, Saudia takes a historic leap forward. For the first time, it expands beyond air operations to play a central role in delivering a comprehensive Hajj experience.
From dedicated flight operations to ground services and hospitality, Saudia is bringing innovation, care, and scale to one of the world’s most important journeys.
In preparation for the 2025 Hajj season, Saudia is allocating over one million seats utilizing a modern fleet of 158 aircraft. With a projected market share of up to 35%, the airline will serve pilgrims from over 100 global destinations.
Hajj is expected to take place from June 4 to 9, 2025, depending on lunar observations. In accordance with official guidelines, pilgrims must be at least 12 years of age to participate.
Engr. Ibrahim Al-Omar, Director General of Saudia, said:"Hajj remains one of our top national priorities.
This year, we're proud to not only manage air operations at full capacity but to also extend our role to become a direct service provider to pilgrims. Through this expansion, we aim to deliver a holistic experience that meets the highest standards of care and hospitality."
