Royal Air Maroc to start new Casablanca-Tel Aviv route – news agency

Morocco’s Royal Air Maroc plans to launch a new Casablanca-Tel Aviv route on March 13, Moroccan state news agency MAP reported on Monday (Feb 21).

The announcement came as Israeli Economy Minister Orna Barbivai paid an official visit to Morocco as the two countries look to broaden cooperation since they normalised ties in 2020.

Morocco on 7 February removed the ban on international flights and reopened its border for international travellers. In November last year, the country banned international flights and ferry services as the omicron variant spread around the world.
