On June 10, 2026, dozens of Moroccan pilgrims returning from the Hajj in Mecca reported that their luggage had gone missing upon arrival at Casablanca's Mohammed V International Airport. According to local media reports, passengers waited at baggage carousels for over an hour, but no suitcases were unloaded from the aircraft.
The incident caused widespread frustration among the travelers, many of whom had been away for weeks. Airport officials stated that they are investigating the matter and working to locate the missing bags. No official statement has been released regarding the number of affected passengers or the total value of lost items.
This is not the first time such an issue has occurred during the Hajj season, as airports in Morocco and other countries have faced logistical challenges in handling the high volume of pilgrims returning home. The Moroccan Ministry of Transport has been contacted for comment but has not yet responded.
