Kuwait Airways Corporation (KAC) affirmed Wednesday its commitment to facilitate all travel arrangements for the pilgrims (Hajj) this year, proposing some new measures in this regard.
Head of Hajj and Omra (lesser pilgrimage) commission at Kuwait Airways Hadi Al-Azmi stressed at a conference that included Hajj campaigns' owners as well as customs of ministry of interior and civil aviation, that the most important action to be taken is to deliver all luggage of pilgrims when arrival to Kuwait to the headquarters of their Hajj campaigns, in order to avoid heavy congestion facing the arrival hall.
Journalists also attended the conference.
Al-Azmi said Kuwait Airways will bear the responsibility for delivery of all passengers' bags, therefore, pilgrims are to leave as soon as they arrive. The baggage claim usuallystand in front of Sir belts bags when they arrived in Kuwait airport, which usually cause severe congestion in the arrival hall, he added.
There are discussions under way to provide access for Hajj campaign owners to receive boarding passes 72 hours instead of 48 hours in advance, Director of Coordination and Follow-up at Kuwait Airways Anwar Al-Khars said.
