Is Zakat obligatory on an airline ticket sales office, and how is it calculated, and is Zakat obligatory on profits generated from selling tickets for Hajj trips?

If the ticket office buys tickets from airlines and then sells them to travelers, this falls under the category of "ijara" (leasing/hiring), and is obligatory on the profits if they reach the (minimum threshold) and a hawl (lunar year) passes over them. These profits are then added to the rest of the zakatable wealth.
However, if the office does not buy tickets but rather markets them for airlines in exchange for a "ju'l" (commission), this falls under the category of permissible brokerage. Zakat is obligatory on the money earned from this activity if it reaches the nisab and a hawl passes over it, either by itself or when combined with other assets.
