RIYADH — The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) continues to deploy all its capabilities in preparation for the 2026 Hajj season with provision of more than 3.1 million seats and operation of over 12,000 flight services.
This is part of the authority’s integrated efforts to ensure a smooth and safe travel experience for pilgrims from the moment they arrive in the Kingdom until their departure, in line with the highest international standards.
The GACA affirmed its full readiness to enhance operational efficiency during the season by providing more than 3.1 million seats for inbound and outbound flights and operating more than 12,000 scheduled and charter flights through six main airports. They are King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Taif International Airport, and Prince Abdulmohsin bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Yanbu.
This enhances operational flexibility and ensuring smooth air traffic flow. These efforts of GACA are part of an integrated framework carried out in coordination with the relevant entities, reflecting the Kingdom’s commitment to providing the best services to pilgrims and enabling them to perform their rituals in ease and comfort. That is in line with Saudi Vision 2030’s goal of improving the quality of services provided to the Hajj and Umrah Hajj pilgrims.
