Royal Air Maroc Accused of Monopolizing Casablanca-Paris Flights Amid Repatriation Efforts

Some competing companies, including Air France, have been unhappy since the launch of the special repatriation operation carried out by Royal Air Maroc (RAM) and Air Arabia.

The subject is making headlines in the French press. The LCI channel talks about a "secret war of airlines" and accuses Morocco "of privatizing the offer to charge exorbitant prices on the Paris-Casablanca destination". "In this situation, we must defend Air France," declares the LCI journalist, Pascal Perri.

In response to these accusations, RAM published the fares of its destinations included in the special operation. "This is not an opening of Morocco’s air borders, but a simple repatriation operation to allow Moroccans stranded abroad to return home and foreigners stranded in Morocco to return to their respective countries. France has done the same in recent months by allowing Air France and Transavia to repatriate its nationals," retorts a source in the department of Nadia Fellah Alaoui, quoted by Le360.

"This reaction on the French side is totally indecent and shameful... The information put forward on RAM is completely false... It’s manipulation," concludes the same source.
