Air Peace has deployed its B777 for the airlifting of Nigerian pilgrims to this year’s Hajj in Saudi Arabia.

Release from the Nigerian flag carrier indicates that the airlift operations will commence on Friday May 26,2023.

Air Peace is one of the airlines approved by the Federal Government for the airlift and had signed an agreement with the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria, NAHCON, earlier this month.

According to the Chairman of Air Peace, Barrister Allen Onyema, the airline cares for the Nigerian pilgrims and is carrying out the operation for national pride.

Hajj is an annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the holy city for Muslims.

Every adult Muslim is expected to embark on this religious journey at least once in their lifetime.
