Morocco Cancels Flights to, from Israel

Moroccan state-owned airline Royal Air Maroc (RAM) announced Thursday it would cancel flights to and from Tel Aviv between October 19th and 30th.

"Due to the current situation in Israel, we are compelled to cancel flights AT229 and AT228 scheduled for the period from October 19th to 30th to and from Tel Aviv," the airline said in a post on X.

Earlier this month, the Moroccan national airline had already suspended several flights to and from Israel.

The company explained in a statement posted on its Facebook page on October 13 that the cancellation of these flights to Israel is due to the current situation in Tel Aviv.

The cancellations included flights scheduled for the 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th of October.

The airline assured that it would provide a range of solutions for customers affected by the cancellation of their flights.

In March 2022, the Royal Air Maroc launched a direct air route between Casablanca and Tel Aviv, Israel,

At that time, the company stated that the route would operate four times a week, increasing shortly to five flights per week.

The air route was established in response to the aspirations of the Moroccan community residing in Israel and aimed to facilitate travel between the two countries for various travelers, including tourists and Moroccan businesspeople.
