Israir announced on Tuesday that it is suspending ticket sales for its flights to Marrakech, Morocco. The decision follows an incident involving a Flydubai aircraft and new security directives issued in its wake. The Israeli airline stated it is awaiting final instructions from the relevant authorities before resuming sales.
Israir had planned to operate three weekly flights to Marrakech in the coming months and was negotiating to lease an additional aircraft to support this expansion. However, these plans are currently frozen. The company emphasized its commitment to operating in accordance with official directives, prioritizing the safety of passengers and crew.
The suspension comes after Flydubai temporarily halted its flights for six days due to an attack on one of its services. Israeli airlines were preparing to take over these routes with secured aircraft, while Israeli authorities enhanced security measures due to the risk of similar attacks.
The new route project was announced shortly after an agreement between Israel and Morocco aimed at strengthening diplomatic ties, including the opening of embassies and the appointment of ambassadors.
