Flynas has announced its participation as a Gold Sponsor in the sixth edition of the Hajj Conference and Exhibition 2026, hosted by Jeddah from November 8 to 11, a step that places the low-cost carrier at the heart of the Hajj and Umrah services ecosystem that has been one of the pillars of its strategy since it launched operations in 2007, during which the number of pilgrims and Umrah performers it has transported has exceeded two million travelers.
The participation is expected to witness the signing of a number of agreements and strategic partnerships aimed at facilitating travel procedures for Hajj, Umrah and visits and enhancing the experience of Umrah performers, in cooperation with the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah, the Guests of God Program—one of the Saudi Vision 2030 programs—and a number of relevant authorities, thereby strengthening the services provided to the Guests of God through the integration of the air carrier's roles with the rest of the ecosystem's components.
This step comes at a time when the company transported more than 147,000 pilgrims from 18 countries during the 1447 AH (2026) Hajj season, a figure that reflects the extent to which low-cost aviation is relied upon to accommodate the numbers of pilgrims coming from outside the Kingdom, and adds to an operational record comprising more than 2,000 weekly flights to over 80 destinations in 38 countries across 156 routes.
Flynas's participation falls within the more than 520 government, private and non-profit entities from within the Kingdom and abroad taking part in the event, which, alongside its conference, features a specialized exhibition on the Hajj services ecosystem spanning more than 67,000 square meters and bringing together entities and solution providers from more than 150 countries. The work of the sixth edition is distributed across three main tracks: infrastructure and operational services, empowerment and integration, and sustainable development, and includes more than 15 main zones and programs, among them the Hajj Conference, the Hajj Council, and the Awareness and Training Forum, which is being held for the first time, in addition to workshops, the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Zone, the Hackathon, the Business Center, and the Technology, Health, Media and Aviation Oases.
The company, listed on the Saudi Main Market (Tadawul), operates a fleet serving plans to reach 165 destinations as part of its growth program, having transported 110 million travelers since its launch—an operational volume that makes the Hajj and Umrah sector a fundamental pillar of its strategy, according to what was reported by the Ajel newspaper.
