Israeli media said direct flights between Morocco and Israel would resume on Thursday for the first time since 7 October, though a source inside Royal Air Maroc (RAM) said the carrier is not operating any service to or from Tel Aviv at this stage.
Israel’s Channel 24 reported that Moroccan authorities would again allow Israeli travelers to enter the country and that flights would restart following “official Moroccan Israeli discussions” and approvals from civil aviation authorities in both countries.
The outlet said Morocco would be the first Muslim majority state to restore air links with Israel since the start of the Gaza war.
A RAM insider told Hespress the airline “is not concerned by this matter” and that no aircraft in its fleet is currently scheduled for Israel routes, suggesting any reinstated connection would involve a different carrier.
Before flights were halted at the outset of the conflict, RAM operated the Casablanca Tel Aviv route, while Israel’s El Al flew Tel Aviv Casablanca and another carrier operated Marrakech Tel Aviv.
Channel 24 said services were suspended in early October after Israel raised its travel warning for Morocco, prompting both Israeli and Moroccan airlines to halt operations.
