The Hajj Agencies Association of Bangladesh (HAAB) has demanded to reduce airfare and form a technical committee to ensure hassle-free Hajj program next year.
Regarding the issue, HAAB wrote a letter to the state minister of the civil aviation and tourism ministry on August 5.
Recently, a meeting was held between the Saudi Hajj and Umrah ministry and the Ministry of Religious Affairs when Minister of Hajj and Umrah for Saudi Arabia Dr Tawfiq Al-Rabiah visited Bangladesh.
The meeting ended with both Dhaka and Riyadh pledging to reduce the Hajj package fare.
Current year, the Hajj air fare was fixed at Tk1,97,797.
