From February 1, 2022, Uzbekistan will carry out flights to Saudi Arabia every day of the week, the Committee on Religious Affairs said in a statement.
The number of daily flights will increase to 2 from February 10 and to 3 during the month of Ramadan, the committee noted.
It should be recalled that the first group of pilgrims from Uzbekistan left for Saudi Arabia on January 22 to perform Umrah.
Earlier, the Muslim Board of Uzbekistan said that due to pandemic demands, the introduction of 15% VAT in Saudi Arabia and the rise in prices, the amount of payment for Uzbek pilgrims had increased.
