First Makkah Route Initiative Flight Departs Bangladesh

The first flight carrying beneficiaries of the Makkah Route Initiative departed from Bangladesh today from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, en route to King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah. This year marks the fifth implementation of the Makkah Route Initiative in the Republic of Bangladesh.
 The initiative aims to provide high-quality services to pilgrims from the beneficiary countries. It entails completing all necessary travel procedures in the pilgrims' home countries, such as issuing electronic visas, ensuring that pilgrims have a clean bill of health, and finalizing passport procedures at the departure airport. Additionally, luggage is coded and sorted according to the pilgrims' transportation and accommodation arrangements in the Kingdom. Upon arrival, pilgrims are offered transportation to their places of residence in Makkah and Madinah, and their luggage is delivered to their accommodations.
 The Makkah Route Initiative is one of the Ministry of Interior's programs, implemented in cooperation with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Health, Hajj, and Umrah, as well as other governmental entities.
