He expressed the hope that the airliners and the state boards would sustain the momentum.

“I am very happy with the way and manner we are going. I am really satisfied. I pray and hope that we continue in the same way and sustain the tempo we started with till the end.

“I am also particularly impressed with the quality and standard of the aircraft deployed which has many business class seats.

“It means that we can have many business class pilgrims on board the aircraft,” the Chairman said.

It would be recalled that the flag-off/inauguration ceremony of the 2023 Hajj was held on Thursday, May 25 with the airlift of the first batch of 470 Nasarawa State pilgrims by Max Air to Medina.
