Egyptair and Saudi General Authority for Civil Aviation have signed a new agreement allowing Haj flights to officially resume between Madinah and Cairo on October 26, after aircraft from the Egyptian capital were barred from landing in the holy city for more than a year, Arab News has reported. EgyptAir plans to organize 327 Haj flights, transporting about 85,000 pilgrims from Egypt, including 181 flights to Jeddah, 107 to Madinah and 29 to various other destinations in the kingdom, Samir Embabi, regional manager for EgyptAir in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, said.
