Hajj 2027 Flight Schedule From Pakistan: Dates, Airlines & Package Details

Pakistan’s Hajj 2026 flight operation has concluded. Between 18 April and 21 May 2026, 468 flights carried around 119,000 government-scheme pilgrims to Jeddah and Madinah, with the last repatriation flights landing back in Pakistan by 30 June 2026.

Attention now turns to Hajj 2027 (1448 AH), expected in mid-May 2027. Pilgrims planning ahead can already search flights to Jeddah and flights to Madinah on Wego, and can track the broader picture across sending countries on our Hajj flight schedule overview.

Hajj 2027 Key Dates: What’s Expected So Far

Neither Saudi Arabia nor Pakistan has published a formal Hajj 2027 flight schedule yet, but the likely window can be estimated from the Islamic calendar and Saudi Arabia’s recurring Hajj flight framework.

• Dhul-Hijjah 1448 AH is expected to begin around 7 May 2027
• Core Hajj rites (8–13 Dhul-Hijjah) are expected between roughly 14 and 19 May 2027
• Day of Arafah is expected around 15 May 2027
• Eid al-Adha is expected around 16 May 2027
• The outbound (arrival) phase is expected to open around early April 2027, and the return (departure) phase to run into mid-to-late June 2027

All of these dates are estimates pending the official Saudi Supreme Court moon sighting and formal publication by Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) and Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs.

Pre-Hajj (Outbound) Phase — Expected Window

Based on GACA’s recurring structure, the outbound phase typically opens on 1 Dhul-Qi’dah and runs to 4 Dhul-Hijjah — for 1448 AH, that points to roughly 8 April through 10 May 2027. In 2026 this phase ran 18 April to 21 May, with the first 15 days flying exclusively to Madinah before Jeddah flights began; the same two-stage pattern is expected to repeat in 2027 once Pakistan’s schedule is confirmed.

Post-Hajj (Return) Phase — Expected Window

GACA’s departure phase normally runs from 13 Dhul-Hijjah to 15 Muharram of the following Hijri year, which would place Hajj 2027 return flights at roughly 19 May through mid-to-late June 2027. Your exact return date will again depend on whether you’re assigned the long or short government package once Pakistan’s Hajj Policy 2027 is released.

Core Hajj Dates (1448 AH)

Hajj rites are expected between 14 and 19 May 2027 (8–13 Dhul-Hijjah 1448 AH), with the Day of Arafah around 15 May and Eid al-Adha around 16 May 2027. As always, the final dates depend on the official Saudi moon sighting announcement closer to the month.

Hajj 2027 Registration: What Pakistani Pilgrims Should Do Now

Mandatory pre-registration for Hajj 2027 opened on 22 June 2026 through Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony. This is a preliminary step only — the full Hajj Policy 2027, covering quotas, package costs, and the flight schedule, has not yet been released.

• Pre-registration is open now at mora.gov.pk; no fee or payment is required at this stage
• Your Pakistani passport must be valid through at least 16 November 2027 to register
• Overseas Pakistanis can register from abroad through the same online system
• Registration is processed first-come, first-served until the eventual quota fills
• Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are reportedly in talks about increasing Pakistan’s Hajj quota beyond the 2026 allocation of 179,210 seats, though this has not been finalized

MORA has also issued a notification for a multi-year Hajj Policy framework covering 2027–2030 (1448–1452 AH), though the detailed costs, city-wise flight allocations, and airline lineup for the 2027 season specifically are expected only after the government completes its post-Hajj 2026 review — likely in late 2026 or early 2027.

Hajj 2026 Recap: How Pakistan’s Operation Ran (Historical Reference)

Pakistan’s Hajj 2026 airlift went ahead as planned despite regional tensions from the US-Iran conflict, which prompted Pakistan to draw up an emergency evacuation plan and forced some rerouting around closed airspace. The national carrier PIA still reported 97% on-time performance across its pre-Hajj flights, and the season’s detailed figures below remain the best available planning baseline until Hajj 2027 numbers are confirmed.

Airlines That Operated Hajj 2026 (Historical Baseline)

Four carriers operated the Pakistan Hajj airlift in 2026, coordinated by the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony.

• Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) — the lead operator with 202 flights
• airblue — supporting the government scheme
• Air Sial — supporting the government scheme
• Saudia — Saudi Arabia’s flag carrier, handling a share of the airlift

Together, these four airlines moved approximately 119,000 pilgrims under the 2026 government Hajj scheme, with the remainder of Pakistan’s 179,210 total quota carried by private Hajj tour operators. No airline lineup has been announced for Hajj 2027 yet, but historically the same carriers return year over year unless MORA states otherwise.

City-Wise Departures — Hajj 2026 Baseline

Hajj 2026 flights departed from eight cities across Pakistan, with 468 total flights split between Madinah (186) and Jeddah (282) routings.

Pakistan has not yet published city-wise flight allocations for Hajj 2027. Given how consistent this list has been in recent years, these same eight cities are the most likely starting point once the 2027 schedule is confirmed.

Road to Makkah: Pre-Clearance at Pakistani Airports (2026 Baseline)

The Road to Makkah project lets pilgrims complete Saudi immigration formalities — passport control, biometrics, and document checks — before boarding in Pakistan. On arrival in Saudi Arabia, pre-cleared passengers skip the queues and head straight to their accommodation buses.

In 2026, the program covered Islamabad, Karachi, and Lahore airports, benefiting an estimated share of Pakistan’s government-scheme pilgrims. No further airport expansion has been officially confirmed for Hajj 2027 at the time of writing.

Government Hajj Package Cost (2026 Baseline — 2027 Pricing Not Yet Announced)

The Government of Pakistan’s Hajj 2026 scheme offered two package options, approved under the Hajj Policy 2026. Equivalent 2027 package terms will only be confirmed once the Hajj Policy 2027 is released.

The 2026 government scheme cost an estimated PKR 1,150,000 to PKR 1,250,000 (approximately USD 4,050 to USD 4,236) per pilgrim, covering flights, visa, accommodation, and transport in Saudi Arabia. Pakistan’s total Hajj quota of 179,210 was split between the government scheme (119,210 seats) and private Hajj operators (60,000 seats) for that season.

For 2027, only pre-registration is open so far, with no fee collected at this stage; formal costs and instalment schedules will follow the Hajj Policy 2027 announcement. For background on how fuel and broader cost pressures shaped 2026 pricing, see our Hajj 2026 prices analysis.

How to Check Your Hajj Flight Schedule

Once a season’s flight schedule is finalized, every pilgrim is assigned an individual flight by the Ministry based on their chosen city and package. You’ll be able to look up your assignment in two ways, the same mechanism used every year.

• The official Hajj flight inquiry portal — enter your CNIC to see your flight number, date, time, and departure airport once schedules are released
• The Pak Hajj mobile app (Android and iOS) — log in with your CNIC and passport number; the app also pushes notifications for schedule changes

Once you have a flight number, use the Wego flight tracker to monitor real-time departure and arrival status.

For Hajj 2027, keep checking the official portal and app closer to the season, since neither will show flight assignments until Pakistan’s 2027 schedule is finalized. In 2026, pilgrims were asked to confirm their flight at least 72 hours before departure and to arrive 6 hours early from Road to Makkah cities.

What to Bring: Essential Tech and Documents

All pilgrims must carry a valid passport, Hajj permit, and vaccination certificates. Saudi authorities also require a Nusuk card — a digital smart ID that grants access to the Grand Mosque and Hajj sites — so download the Nusuk app before departure and activate your digital card.

Pilgrims traveling under the government scheme typically receive e-SIMs to stay connected with family back in Pakistan. It’s worth downloading maps, duas, and your Nusuk permit offline before you arrive, since mobile data can be unreliable during peak Hajj days.
