Flight Delays and Airlift Resumption Flight delays, particularly by Arik Air, have contributed to the challenges faced by the pilgrims. Arik Air, responsible for airlifting a significant number of passengers, has only managed to transport 300 out of approximately 7,000 allocated to them by the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria. However, the airline has assured that the airlift will resume within 24 hours. The situation has left many pilgrims feeling let down and concerned about the realization of their long-held dreams of performing Hajj.
