EgyptAir cancels Mali Hajj flights, affecting over 4,000 pilgrims

EgyptAir has cancelled its Hajj flights to and from Mali, affecting more than 4,000 pilgrims, according to Malian pilgrimage authorities.

The suspension is linked to worsening security conditions in Mali, where armed groups have carried out attacks on military sites and infrastructure, along with rising operational costs. The disruption impacts nearly a third of Mali’s 2026 Hajj quota and has left officials working on alternative travel arrangements for affected pilgrims.
