Israeli airline Arkia has suspended ticket sales for flights to Marrakech, Morocco, following a directive from Israeli security officials. The company announced on Wednesday that it is in contact with relevant authorities and is evaluating options for continuing service to Morocco, while also considering the implications for passengers who have already purchased tickets.
This decision comes in the wake of recent flight cancellations to Tokyo and a lawsuit filed against Arkia concerning disruptions. The immediate question is the fate of existing bookings for travelers planning to visit the North African destination.
Arkia stated that if Israeli authorities decide to halt Israeli airlines' flights to Marrakech, the company is exploring alternatives, including operating flights through its commercial partners. The airline emphasized that it will update passengers based on directives and decisions made, and will continue to provide updates as developments occur.
Currently, the halt in sales does not necessarily mean all existing flights will be canceled. The future of current flights and the possibility of operating them in an alternative format will be determined by the authorities' decisions and coordination with relevant parties.
