This year, Hajj flights will begin on April 18, according to the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

Hajj agencies and airlines must comply with Saudi Arabia's directions and the 'Hajj Package and Guidelines, 2026'.

The ministry sent letters to the Hajj agency owners and three airlines transporting pilgrims in this regard on Sunday, January 11.

A total of 78,500 pilgrims from Bangladesh can perform Hajj this year, which will take place on May 26, subject to the appearance of the Moon.
