Air Peace on Friday May 26, 2023 began airlift of Nigerian pilgrims to Saudi Arabia for the 2023 Hajj.
A statement by the airline affirmed that the airline will operate the service with one of its Boeing 777 aircraft.
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 (NAHCO), earlier this month.
At the signing ceremony with NAHCON, the Chairman of Air Peace, Barrister Allen Onyema, said the airline cares for the Nigerian pilgrims and is carrying out the operation for national pride.
Hajj, an annual Islamic pilgrimage to holy lands in Saudi Arabia, is one of the five pillars of Islam which every faithful is expected to embark at least once in lifetime.
