Morocco’s flagship airline, Royal Air Maroc (RAM) confirmed that it is suspending both outcoming and incoming flights starting this November 29.
In a tweet published this Sunday night, RAM says it’s canceling “international flights to and from Morocco, in both directions, until December 13, 2021.”
Despite the Moroccan government exclusively referring to incoming flights when announcing the closure decision this Sunday, the national airline is confirming outgoing flights will also be suspended.
The airline company clarified that it “is committed to accompanying its customers during this period by allowing the change and refund of tickets to and from Morocco.”
A NOTAM from the Moroccan national aviation authority had been reportedly sent, confirming the full closure of borders.
The suspension of all air and sea travel from and to the kingdom is due to the latest COVID-19 variant outbreak, Omicron, after various cases were confirmed in neighboring Europe.
The World Health Organization called on countries to keep their borders open, saying in a statement that it “stands with African countries, and makes an appeal to keep borders open,” calling on countries to “adopt a scientific approach based on risk assessment.”
The WHO added that “it is vital to support countries that deal transparently with their data because it is the only way to ensure that we receive important data in a timely manner.”
