The ongoing 2025 Hajj exercise continues to witness significant progress in the airlift of Nigerian pilgrims.
According to an update from NAHCON, the total number of returnees now stands at 6,528, as Max Air completed its 16th flight on Tuesday.

The NAHCON Command and Control Centre in Makkah showed that “Max Air flight VM265 departed Jeddah for Lagos at 08:33 hrs on Tuesday, June 17, 2025. The flight conveyed 560 individuals, comprising 550 pilgrims and 10 officials.

“A breakdown of the pilgrims on board shows that 549 were from Oyo State, while 1 pilgrim was from Plateau State, marking another significant movement of pilgrims back to Nigeria.”
The latest flight brings the cumulative number of pilgrims airlifted to 6,528, underscoring the consistent efforts of NAHCON and partner airlines in ensuring a smooth and efficient return journey for all pilgrims.

Sixteen flights have now been completed as part of the inbound transportation phase of the Hajj operations.
