Recent reports suggesting a resumption of flights between Israel and Morocco by El Al and Royal Air Maroc (RAM) in April have been officially denied by both airlines.

While the two carriers continue to explore the possibility of restoring air connections, they have clarified that no official decision has been made yet. The resumption of flights remains contingent upon ensuring adequate security conditions in Morocco, a key prerequisite for both airlines.

Additionally, the Moroccan government is reportedly waiting for political developments in the region before granting approval for the re-establishment of air routes between the two nations.

This uncertainty comes in the wake of heightened geopolitical tensions, which have influenced diplomatic and economic decisions affecting international travel in the region.

Until further notice, both El Al and Royal Air Maroc continue to monitor the situation, emphasizing their commitment to ensuring a safe and viable travel experience for passengers once conditions permit a resumption of operations.
