On 1 December 2024, Straits Central Agencies (SCA) successfully marked the third consecutive year of its exclusive full charter flight service for Umrah, carrying a total of 256 passengers – 242 adults, 12 children, and two infants.
This special service, available only during December, continues to be one of the agency’s most sought-after offerings. This achievement was made possible through the collaborative efforts of various parties.
SCA extends its appreciation to the national carrier Royal Brunei Airlines, its management and staff as well as esteemed hotel partners in Saudi Arabia for their unwavering support.



The agency also acknowledges the trust and invaluable feedback provided by its pilgrims, which serve as a cornerstone for continuously enhancing its services.
SCA offers a range of carefully curated and custom-tailored Umrah packages throughout the year. Special attention is given to securing accommodations in five-star hotels close to the holy sites, ensuring a peaceful and stress-free experience for the pilgrims.
Recognised as one of the ten approved travel agencies, SCA has been granted permission by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, through the Department of Haj Affairs, to provide Haj and Umrah packages under Umrah visas for the next three years (1446–1448 Hijrah).
“We wish all pilgrims a blessed journey and pray for their efforts and Ibadah to be accepted by Allah SWT. May they be rewarded with barakah, granted ease throughout their travels, and blessed with lasting peace and prosperity,” said the travel agent.
