Saudi Arabia's Matarat Holding Company has prepared 6 international airports and 13 travel halls dedicated to pilgrims, along with more than 22,000 male and female employees, as part of its preparations to receive the Guests of Allah during the 1447 AH Hajj season, under an integrated operational plan aimed at easing the journey from arrival in the Kingdom until departure.
The airports designated to receive pilgrims include King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Madinah, King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam, Taif International Airport and Prince Abdulmohsin bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Yanbu, according to a post on the Saudi Press Agency website.
These preparations aim to speed up procedures and ease pilgrims' movement inside airports, helping raise operational efficiency and improve the experience of the Guests of Allah during the Hajj season.
The plan also includes distinctive services to ease the journey, most notably the "Traveler Without a Bag" service, which allows pilgrims to complete travel procedures and ship their luggage from their place of residence, as well as proactive shipping of Zamzam water containers, easing the burden of moving around and providing a smoother travel experience.
It is worth noting that Matarat Holding oversees the operation of 27 airports in Saudi Arabia through its subsidiaries, namely Riyadh Airports, Jeddah Airports, Dammam Airports and the Second Airports Cluster, as part of plans to develop the Kingdom's airports and raise their operational efficiency in support of the targets of the National Aviation Strategy and Saudi Vision 2030.
