It is not right to take action without an explanation from the authorities about exactly when and under what conditions the Umrah will be performed. If Umrah is not opened, if the quotas are not as we expected, it will be impossible to take the passengers we have registered and paid for, and our profession will wear out more," he said.

Rest assured that we will keep you informed of the developments, and we ask them to be a little more patient. If our Ministry at first and then the Inter-Ministerial Hajj and Umrah Board says there is no harm, you can go to Umrah; they can take it immediately, but; I don't think there will be Umrah for a long time.
