ISRAEL: Israir Suspends Added ACMI Plans, Marrakech Route Amid Tougher Security Protocols

TEL AVIV, Israel

• Israir has frozen plans for 3x weekly service to Marrakech, Morocco and the lease of an additional aircraft which would have flown the route.
• The move comes amid tighter security restrictions issued following the flydubai flight FZ1073 attempted hijacking.
• Israir has thus stopped all ticket sales to Marrakech until final security directives are received.
• Arkia flights to Marrakech, operating since August, are also under review.
• Israeli carriers continue talks with authorities over unresolved security requirements for flights to Dubai.
