The airline company stressed that ticket changes for flights from Morocco to Russia will be allowed, free of charge, until December 15, 2021, to the same destination or another. While the reimbursement for tickets to Russia will be in the form of a coupon or in cash at the initial point of sale.
The Russian embassy in Rabat announced the suspension decision via its Facebook page.
According to Hespress sources, the state of the pandemic in Russia was behind Morocco’s decision to suspend flights, as part of preventive measures.
Russia has reported, on Wednesday, more than 900 deaths from Covid within 24 hours for the first time since the start of Covid-19 era.
The new reported numbers raised the death toll caused by the coronavirus to 212,625, the highest death toll in Europe.
Russia is the fifth most affected country by the virus, with more than 7.5 million infections.
It has recorded an increase in the number of infections since August, with the slowdown in the vaccination campaign.
While many vaccines manufactured in Russia have been available for months, the authorities are facing difficulties to convince Russian citizens to get vaccinated.
Independent surveys show that more than half of Russians do not intend to receive the vaccine as they are skeptical about the vaccine
