Pakistan has temporarily suspended Hajj flights to Saudi Arabia due to rising tensions in the Middle East that have raised concerns over regional airspace safety. Aviation authorities decided to halt the flights as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of pilgrims and airline operations, particularly as several international routes pass through sensitive areas affected by the ongoing situation.
Officials stated that the suspension is temporary and that the government is closely monitoring developments in the region. Authorities are coordinating with airlines and Saudi officials to resume operations once conditions stabilize, while assuring intending pilgrims that alternative arrangements and updated schedules will be announced as soon as the situation improves.
