Royal Air Maroc has announced the temporary suspension of several routes connecting Morocco with Europe and Africa, including the Marrakech-Marseille line, until May 30, 2026. The decision is attributed to the sharp increase in fuel prices resulting from ongoing tensions in the Middle East, according to a statement from the airline.
The suspension affects multiple routes, but the Marrakech-Marseille service is among the most notable for French travelers. The airline stated that the measure is temporary and aims to mitigate operational costs during the volatile fuel market.
Fuel prices have surged globally due to geopolitical instability in the Middle East, impacting airlines worldwide. Royal Air Maroc's move reflects a broader trend of carriers adjusting routes in response to rising operational expenses.
The airline has not specified whether affected passengers will be offered refunds or rebooking options. Travelers are advised to check the Royal Air Maroc website or contact customer service for updates.
