RAM not to restart international flight before 10th of September
We will have to wait at least a month to hope to see Royal Air Maroc outside the national borders on regular flights. The Moroccan government has in fact extended the state of emergencyin force throughout the country, from Monday August 10 at 6 p.m. to Thursday September 10, 2020 at the same time.
As a result of this decision, a message to air users (NOTAM) was issued, informing of the suspension of all flights departing and arriving in Morocco until further notice, with the exception of cargo flights. and overflights.
During this suspensive period, Royal Air Maroc will however continue to operate special flights for the repatriation of Moroccans and foreigners.
This umpteenth extension of the state of emergency is pushing the Moroccan carrier further into the financial crisis. Grounded since March 13, the national flagship is losing about $ 5 million per day. To avoid bankruptcy, the company will receive a state bailout of $ 649 million, released in several installments in proportion to the achievement of the goals set in the bailout. This provides for the reduction of the fleet, the reduction of the workforce as well as the elimination of several continental and international routes.
