Royal Air Maroc has extended its suspension of flights to Dubai and Doha through March 31, 2026, citing ongoing safety concerns linked to Middle East hostilities. The decision directly impacts travel between Casablanca and both Gulf cities, with passengers urged to monitor flight statuses and contact booking agents for alternatives.
The airline’s announcement follows heightened regional instability after February 28 strikes involving Israeli-US forces and Iran, which have disrupted aviation operations across multiple countries. Major carriers continue rerouting flights or canceling services as security assessments evolve.
This prolonged suspension underscores the broader challenges facing global air travel in conflict zones, particularly affecting business connectivity and tourism flows between North Africa and the Gulf. Analysts note that prolonged disruptions could impact regional economic recovery efforts this year.
