The Libyan General Authority for Hajj and Umrah Affairs met with the Holding Company for Aviation and the Libyan Airlines company. They discussed the transportation of pilgrims to Saudi Arabia this season.

During the meeting, an agreement was reached with the Libyan Airlines company to be the official carrier of pilgrims on board its A330 aircrafts, starting from 24 June. The meeting was attended by the Undersecretary of the Libyan Ministry of Transportation.

Notably, the Libyan General Authority formed a committee to follow up on the developments related to the measures taken by Saudi Arabia to organise the Hajj season for 2022.

In a statement, it stated that the current Hajj season is exceptional given the closures after the COVID-19 pandemic. It added that Libya’s share of pilgrims was set at 3,531.

The Saudi authorities also stipulated that pilgrims should not exceed 65 years. This means that it is not possible to send the full number, chosen by lottery for 2020 and 2021.

The Saudi authorities attributed this to the measures announced by the Ministry of Hajj. The foremost of which is allowing one million pilgrims across the Islamic world to perform Hajj this year.

The Hajj season is implemented for 2022 after this was not possible during the last two years due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The performance of the Hajj was limited to a very small percentage of residents inside Saudi lands.

The Saudi authorities stipulated the completion of the distribution of vaccinations. The basic doses of the Coronavirus vaccines were approved in Saudi Arabia and the submission of a negative PCR result for a sample taken at most 72 hours before arriving in the country. The Ministry noted that Hajj will be permitted for people under 65 years of age.
