The Hajj is no more in danger for AAI than it is for anyone else.

Certainly Air Atlanta would have been happier if the Iberia thing hadnīt come to an end so abrubtly but that possibility was always there and the company has made the necessary changes to deal with this. If the Hajj is cancelled it wonīt just be Atlanta who find themselves in deep water.

Realistically, I think the Saudis will put enough pressure on the US to ensure that the Hajj goes ahead. They need the money they earn during Hajj and the worldwide muslim community would be pretty upset if their pilgrimage were to be cancelled due to coalition led military action in the region.

Time for some clever marketing maybe?
