The national carrier, Maldivian, is offering special flights for Umrah pilgrims.
Maldivian commenced Umrah flights in July this year, using its wide-body aircraft.
Under the new offer, direct flights from Male' to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, will coincide with upcoming school holidays, making travel convenient for pilgrims. Three flights will operate on the Male'-Jeddah route on the 27th and 28th of December, with return flights scheduled for the 10th, 11th, and 12th of January next year.
According to Maldivian, the fare will be USD 750, which includes a generous 45-kilogram baggage allowance for passengers.
These flights are part of Maldivian’s effort to provide direct and convenient travel for Umrah pilgrims during peak travel periods.
