Air Charter International (ACI), a leading aviation solutions provider in Arabia, Africa, Asia and Asia Pacific announces their commitment to sourcing world wide Hajj Charters for 2009.

Air Charter International has successfully operated Hajj movements since 2003 from Iraq, Afghanistan, Morocco and the Maldives. Hajj movements are commonly difficult to gain permissions for, but years of experience in securing these permissions from remote or hard to reach regions prove that ACI can provide a charter from any destination in the world.

Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, is one of the greatest religious observances in Islam. Historically, people made their pilgrimage to Hajj by camel caravan or ship. It was a dangerous trip that took months, sometimes even years.

Today, the journey has changed dramatically with most pilgrims arriving via the Jeddah airport. There are two special Hajj terminals, the largest buildings (by roof area) in the world. These days, providing Hajj movements from any where in the world is a crucial service. Air Charter International has built their reputation on being able to support this globally significant event and is able to source the correct aircraft for locations all over the world.

On the significance of Hajj charters Stuart Wheeler, CEO of Air Charter International said: "We realize the religious and personal importance of Hajj and pride ourselves on ensuring the best service for our customers for Hajj 2009. Efficiency and knowledge are our greatest assets and we endeavor, continually, to maintain our service standards."
