First direct commercial flight takes off between Morocco and Israel
A Royal Air Maroc flight took off Sunday from Casablanca to Tel Aviv, the first direct commercial link fifteen months after the normalization of bilateral relations.
Three months late due to the health crisis, the Moroccan national airline flight left at 09:00 from Casablanca’s Mohammed-V airport, an airport source said.

“The company will operate four weekly flights on this new air route, which will result in more tourists and closer relations,” Israel’s office in Morocco noted on Twitter.
Tel-Aviv and Rabat restored their relations in December 2020 in the framework of the “Abraham Accords”, a normalization process between Israel and several Arab countries, supported by the Trump administration. AFP
