The first special flight reached Islamabad from Jeddah with 132 pilgrims. The pilgrims informed media at the Islamabad Airport that PIA officials at Shah Abdul Aziz Airport did not cooperate with the Pakistani pilgrims and they did not provide any information regarding flight schedule.The pilgrims blamed that they suffered the hardships due to mismanagement of PIA staff at Jeddah Airport and they were not able to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr with their families.
