The companies Royal Air Maroc (RAM) and Air Arabia Maroc are expected to launch direct flights between Morocco and Israel starting next October, operating between Casablanca and Marrakech and Tel Aviv on a weekly basis.

The head of the Israeli Liaison Office in Rabat announced the upcoming direct flights between Morocco and Israel, administered by Royal Air Maroc and Air Arabia.

David Govrin, head of the Israeli Liaison Office in Rabat on his Twitter account said “Another big step is added to the efforts aimed at strengthening relations between Morocco and Israel, given the increasing demand for direct flights between the two countries.”

He explained that “the two airlines, Air Arabia and Royal Air Maroc, will open new airlines, starting next October, linking Marrakesh and Casablanca with Israel.”

The links will be increased gradually, depending on demand. Two Israeli airlines launched direct flights between Tel Aviv and Marrakech on July 25, 2021. These are El Al and Israir, with a third company, Arkia, to follow in early August. The direct flights between the two countries will connect Marrakech, but also Casablanca and Essaouira.

This will raise the number of airlines operating between Morocco and Israel to five airlines, including El Al, Israir, Arkia, Royal Air Maroc and Air Arabia.

Arkia Israeli company is also preparing to serve the destination of Morocco.

Hundreds of Israeli tourists landed in Marrakesh as the first direct flight from Israel to Morocco began operating with at least 200,000 Israeli tourists expected to arrive in Morocco annually by next year.
