Qatar Airways has announced that it is providing pilgrims with exclusive Haj kits designed and assembled with items to assist them during their spiritual journey.
The kits will be offered to all passengers travelling for pilgrimage on the airline’s flights to Jeddah and Madinah during the Haj season, starting from today.
The Haj kits were launched by Qatar Airways in 2015 and each kit includes items that are beneficial to pilgrims as they make their journey through the holy sites. The kit contains a prayer counter, prayer beads, a prayer mat, stone bag, socks and wet wipes, packaged in a bag that can also be used to carry shoes.
Qatar Airways senior vice-president (customer experience) Rossen Dimitrov said, “Providing our passengers with an exceptional journey is a priority for Qatar Airways, and we are delighted to be able to offer them a gift tailored to their specific needs while experiencing Haj.”
Qatar Airways operates four flights a day to Jeddah, and three flights a day to Madinah (from September 1), from Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Doha.
Through its home base at HIA, Qatar Airways connects passengers to more than 150 places around the world, providing pilgrims from across the globe with “easy, convenient access” to Saudi Arabia’s Holy sites, the airline has said in a statement.
Passengers can fly with Qatar Airways to and from eight destinations in Saudi Arabia - Jeddah, Madinah, Riyadh, Abha, Dammam, Gassim, Hofuf and Taif.
This year has seen Qatar Airways launch 10 new routes through HIA. The new destinations, with several flights a week through Doha, are Los Angeles (US), Ras Al Khaimah (UAE), Sydney (Australia), Boston (US), Birmingham (UK), Adelaide (Australia), Yerevan (Armenia), Atlanta (US), Marrakech (Morocco) and Pisa (Italy).
From September, the airline will continue to add new destinations to its global map, including Windhoek (Namibia), Helsinki (Finland), Krabi (Thailand) and Seychelles.
