British media recently reported that cockroaches were discovered in the luggage compartment of a Royal Air Maroc (RAM) flight from Casablanca to Manchester last Thursday, leading to the return of passengers’ luggage to Morocco.
However, an official source at RAM has denied these claims, stating that the issue involved worms rather than cockroaches.
The RAM spokesperson explained that the worms resulted from the decomposition of foodstuffs and perishable items in the luggage of some passengers.
The source noted that bringing such items is a common practice among some travelers. The long journey and high temperatures contributed to the spoilage and subsequent appearance of worms.
The source also clarified that only 16 bags were affected by the issue, with the majority of the luggage unaffected.
According to the RAM official, the British authorities at Manchester Airport returned all the luggage to Morocco instead of separating and disposing of the contaminated items, which is typically standard procedure.
Upon arrival in Morocco, the affected bags were promptly destroyed.
The remaining luggage was dispatched back to its owners in the UK on two subsequent flights, one on Sunday and another on Tuesday of this week.
