This year, THAI is due to organise special Hajj flights during September 17 to November 15, maintaining dedication to passenger convenience, safety, and punctuality.
A total of 42 inbound and outbound flights are expected to be operated, utilising Airbus A330-300 aircraft with a 295-seat capacity, which is anticipated to serve approximately 6,000 passengers.
