Binter will resume its flights to Morocco starting Monday, February 7, as soon as the Moroccan government reopens its airspace to international flights.

While the Moroccan authorities have announced the reopening of airspace to flights departing and arriving in Morocco from February 7, there is, so far, no visibility on the resumption of maritime transport. The Moroccan decision only concerns air transport.

Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, French Minister Delegate in charge of Tourism and SMEs, welcomes the reopening of Moroccan airspace, which has been closed since November 29, 2021.

Following the announcement of the reopening of airspace to flights departing and arriving in Morocco from February 7, the airline Royal Air Maroc (RAM) has decided to resume all its international routes, which have remained suspended since November 29, 2021.

Mohamed Abdeljalil, Minister of Transport and Logistics, affirms that the civil aviation authorities in Morocco have not received any notice regarding the intention of certain "low-cost" international airlines to cancel their flights to the kingdom.

The Spanish company Vueling, part of the IAG (International Airlines Group) group, will operate flights from its Paris-Orly base to Morocco in the summer of 2022.

The airline Ryanair will operate flights to Marrakech and launch a new route to another Moroccan city as part of its summer 2022 program, thus denying reports of its likely withdrawal from the Moroccan market.

Morocco, Egypt or Germany are among the 85 destinations offered this summer by the airline Brussels Airlines, a subsidiary of Lufthansa.

The Irish low-cost airline Ryanair is said to be planning to withdraw from the Moroccan market due to "tensions" with the Moroccan authorities who have extended the suspension of all passenger flights to and from Morocco until January 31, 2022.

The Moroccan authorities are keeping their airspace closed to regular flights, but are allowing the landing of private planes. However, you have to be willing to pay the price.

Private jets carrying passengers from European cities would manage to enter Morocco, despite the closure of air borders. A thriving business for the organizers of these flights.

The airline British Airways has decided to extend the suspension of its flights to Marrakech until February 10, 2022.
