The Israeli Channel 12 has revealed that Morocco and Israel are in «advanced» talks to relaunch direct flights between the two nations. These flights were suspended following the October 7, 2023, events. The channel reports that there have been renewed communications between the transportation and security authorities of both countries, marking a crucial step towards reopening the air route. According to the channel, «a recent call took place between the Israeli Minister of Transport, along with senior ministry officials, and their Moroccan counterparts. During this conversation, they agreed to prepare for the imminent resumption of flights.» The report also suggests that «direct flights could resume in the coming months if there are no further setbacks.» While the Israeli National Security Council continues to advise against non-essential travel to Morocco, sources close to the negotiations indicate that a discussion on lowering the travel warning level is anticipated. This could potentially facilitate the return of tourism between the two countries.
