French Pension Protests Disrupt Morocco-France Flights, Royal Air Maroc Cancels Routes

Many flights between Morocco and France are being cancelled due to the continued protests against the pension reform and the postponement of the legal retirement age to 64. Royal Air Maroc (RAM) has cancelled its flights to Marrakech from Marseille.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) has called on airlines to reduce their flight schedules by 20% at the airports of Bordeaux-Mérignac and Marseille-Provence this Monday, April 3, 2023. This time, Paris-Orly airport is not affected. "Despite these preventive measures, disruptions and delays are nevertheless to be expected," the DGAC recalled in its press release.

Flights to Lyon with Air France, Marseille with Ryanair and EasyJet, Basel-Mulhouse, Nice and Lille (easyJet), Lisbon and Faro (easyJet), Charleroi and (Ryanair), or Frankfurt (Lufthansa) from Bordeaux are affected by the cancellations. From Marseille, the flights of Air France (to Orly and Lyon), Ryanair (to La Rochelle, Bordeaux, Nantes, Luxembourg, Lille, Eindhoven), EasyJet to Bordeaux, Twin Jet to Toulouse, Volotea to Constantine, Royal Air Maroc to Marrakech, Iberia to Madrid, Lufthansa to Frankfurt, and British Airways to London-Heathrow are affected.
