Royal Air Maroc suspends 12 routes amid fuel crisis

The aviation industry is bearing the full brunt of the repercussions from geopolitical crises in the Middle East. The explosion in kerosene costs, coupled with a decline in passenger traffic on certain routes, is forcing the Moroccan carrier to react urgently. This exceptional surge in operating expenses, which is shaking the entire market globally, has prompted management to adjust its capacity and temporarily freeze part of its schedule to adapt to this difficult economic climate.
