Wednesday 2 April 2025 - 14:30

Royal Air Maroc (RAM) has suspended a foreign trainee pilot after he posted images on social media displaying the “flag” of the separatist, Polisario led so-called “Sahrawi Republic.”

According to Moroccan Aviation, a platform specializing in aviation news in Morocco, RAM officials met with the pilot before deciding to suspend him pending a final decision on his employment.

The source added that several aviation professionals had previously reached out to the pilot to clarify his stance, but he responded by blocking them, reinforcing suspicions about his knowledge of his actions’ meaning and intent.

The pilot reportedly displayed the separatist flag on his social media accounts and allegedly posted images taken at airports in Dakhla and Laayoune, deliberately tagging them with coordinates referencing the so-called “Sahrawi Republic.”

Further disciplinary measures may follow as RAM evaluates the situation.
