Shaheen Airlines was also included in the list, however its name has been removed as of now. The reason behind this is that Shaheen Airlines failed to provide the flight operations schedule and plan in time.

Hajj Camps

Hajj Camps will be set up for imparting training to pilgrims as well. The ministry has directed all pilgrims to reach the camps two days prior to their departure. Vaccination of the individuals flying for Hajj has already been started.
