Zamfara State records its first Hajj flight departing from Gusau International Airport, marking a new route for intending pilgrims to Saudi Arabia. Multiple reports say the inaugural flight leaves on Friday with 415 Zamfara pilgrims aboard a Max Air aircraft identified as flight NGL270. The departure is described as the state’s first-ever Hajj operation from the new airport in Gusau, rather than using other departure points. The pilots and passengers are reported to be booked for the direct journey to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj season. Coverage from Nigerian outlets also frames the event as a milestone for the state, noting that the flight is part of the wider preparations for the annual pilgrimage. No sources provided additional details on the flight’s arrival destination in Saudi Arabia, the duration of the trip, or whether any officials were on board; however, both reports consistently state the same core facts: first Hajj flight from Gusau International Airport, Friday departure, and 415 pilgrims on a Max Air flight.
