An airline (Egyptian, I think) with the flight prefix 'AMV' operated Hajj flights from London Stansted (STN) for those on the pilgrimage. The outbound flights were to originally operate from LHR but then moved to STN, allegegedly because of unpaid handling fees at Heathrow. The flights operated with lengthy delays, mainly on the outbound flights but with some delays on the return flights too. The tour operator, whoever they were, clearly were not organised at such trips - but whether they made any money from it, i'm not sure - doubtful I would have thought.
