How much Hajj air fare increased?

The Kaaba is the holiest place for Muslims.

 There has been strong criticism over the price of air tickets to and from Saudi Arabia for this year's Haj pilgrims in Bangladesh, and the overall increase in the cost of Haj has led to fewer registrations for Haj.

 The Hajj Agencies Association of Bangladesh (HAB) and the Association of Travel Agents of Bangladesh or Atab say the air fares have been fixed so high that it is an 'injustice' according to them.

 As a result, even after extending the registration time several times, there is not much response. The leaders of the two organizations believe that this situation has arisen due to the increase in the price of Hajj packages due to abnormal airfares.

 However, Biman Bangladesh Airlines says that the air fare has been fixed considering the overall situation and costs so that Biman will not make a profit but avoid losses.

 Incidentally, the airfare for this year's Hajj package has been fixed at Tk 1 lakh 97 thousand 997. Biman Bangladesh Airlines and Saudia Airlines mainly carry the Hajj passengers of Bangladesh.

 An aviation analyst has alleged that the fares have been skyrocketed to give business opportunities to these two organizations by holding Haj pilgrims hostage.

 Travel agencies say that the cost of traveling to Saudi Arabia at this moment is a maximum of one lakh taka, despite the difference between airlines.

 Return tickets are available within 70-80 thousand rupees in Saudi Arabia for performing Umrah or for any other reason at other times of the year.

 However, there are complaints that some airlines suddenly increase the prices when the number of passengers going to the Middle East increases.

 Many concerned complain that Biman is using the Hajj season to cut losses at other times of the year.
