Morocco announces special flights for Moroccans living in Ukraine

Three flights will be operated from Bucharest, Budapest and Warsaw to Casablanca exclusively for Moroccans living in Ukraine and their family members.

CASABLANCA - Morocco's flag carrier Royal Air Maroc (RAM) announced on Sunday the establishment of special flights for Moroccans living in Ukraine.

"In consultation with the Moroccan authorities, Royal Air Maroc will set up special flights in favour of the Moroccan community established in Ukraine, mostly composed of students. To this end, and due to the closure of Ukrainian airspace, the national airline will schedule flights at exceptional rates from countries bordering Ukraine," said RAM in a statement.

Three flights will be operated on Wednesday from Bucharest, Budapest and Warsaw to Casablanca at a fixed rate of 750 dirhams (including all taxes), said the same source, noting that these flights are exclusively reserved for Moroccans living in Ukraine and their family members.

Morocco’s embassy in Kyiv urged last Tuesday nationals wishing to leave Ukraine to go to the border access points with Romania, Hungary and Slovakia where reception and support cells will be set up.
