Israeli airline Arkia announced on Wednesday that it has suspended ticket sales for flights to Marrakech, Morocco, until further notice. The decision was taken at the request of Israeli security authorities, who did not specify the exact reasons for the directive.
According to Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth, the carrier confirmed it is in contact with relevant security agencies to evaluate whether operations on the Marrakech route can continue. The discussions include addressing the status of flights for which passengers have already purchased tickets.
Arkia is reviewing potential alternatives to maintain connectivity on the route, such as operating flights through commercial partners if Israeli authorities impose an outright halt on Israeli carriers flying to Marrakech.
Israel's Channel 12 reported that Arkia had only resumed flights to Marrakech two months ago following a three-year suspension. The broadcaster noted that Israel had also announced the cancellation of some planned flights to Morocco a week earlier due to security concerns.
