Saudi airline resumes haj flights with Iran for first time since 2015

Saudi Arabia’s low-cost airline Flynas has resumed flights for Iranian pilgrims travelling to Haj for the first time since 2015.

“Flynas resumed Iranian pilgrims flights from Imam Khomeini [airport] in Tehran on Saturday,” a Saudi General



Authority of Civil Aviation told Agence France-Presse (AFP), speaking on condition of anonymity.

Additional flights from Mashhad will also be operated, enabling over 35,000 pilgrims to travel with the airline for the pilgrimage, which begins in June.
