By Abdullahi Alhassan, Kaduna
The National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) has officially appointed Max Air as the designated airline for transporting Kano State pilgrims to Saudi Arabia for the 2025 Hajj.
This decision was confirmed by the Director General of the Kano State Pilgrims Welfare Board, Alhaji Lamin Rabi’u Danbappa, following a stakeholders’ meeting and the signing of an agreement with airlines at NAHCON headquarters in Abuja.
Alhaji Danbappa further announced that the airlift of intending pilgrims from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia was scheduled to commence on May 6, 2025.
In a Press statement signed and made available to newsmen by Sulaiman Abdullahi Dederi, the Public Relations officer of the board, he explained that the director general of the board had expressed satisfaction with the extensive preparations.
He therefore assured that all necessary arrangements had been made to ensure a smooth and comfortable journey for the pilgrims.
He also urged those who had not yet submitted their international passports to do so promptly before the deadline to avoid any delays.
The board reassures Kano State pilgrims of a seamless experience both at home and abroad.
“The selection of Max Air reflects NAHCON’s commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and comfort for all pilgrims undertaking this sacred journey,” the statement said.
