They particularly appreciated the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah for making suitable boarding, lodging and medical arrangements during their additional stay in the Kingdom.

They also appreciated the efforts made by the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) and Saudia Airlines.

Around 474 Pakistani Umrah pilgrims were still left in Saudi Arabia due to the cancellation of international flights.

However, under special arrangements by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj & Umrah, two special Saudi Airlines flights have been arranged to take these leftover Umrah Zaireen to Pakistan.

The second special flight carrying remaining leftover Pakistani Umrah Zaireen will leave from Jeddah for Multan tomorrow.

This extraordinary care extended towards the Pakistani Umrah pilgrims is yet another symbol of strong brotherly relations between the two countries.
