Israir has announced the freezing of its plans to expand operations on the route to Marrakech, Morocco, and has halted all ticket sales for the destination. The decision was made following the security incident on the Flydubai flight and the new security directives that followed. In recent months, Israir had been preparing to expand operations on the route, planning to operate three weekly flights to the destination in the coming months. As part of the preparations, the company was negotiating to lease an additional aircraft. Now, the entire plan has been frozen, including the negotiations for the additional aircraft. The company clarified that it is awaiting final security instructions from the relevant authorities, and that until the situation becomes clear, all ticket sales for Marrakech have been suspended. Senior figures in the aviation industry have warned of uncertainty regarding the continuation of flights to Morocco, following the identification of a new threat in the country. The report comes just two months after the route to Morocco was resumed.
