From midnight: Morocco bans non-stop flights from Germany, UK and the Netherlands

Advertising

Morocco, which is popular with holidaymakers, will prohibit all non-stop flights starting in Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom from October 20, 2021 at 23:59 p.m. In concrete terms, this means that tourists can no longer be flown in and many vacations will fall through the water.

However, non-stop flights that take off in Morocco and land, for example, in the three countries mentioned are permitted. It remains to be seen how the airlines will behave, because empty flights to bring vacationers home are expensive given the long distance. However, many providers have made so-called “care promises” and now we have to prove them.

Since the three banned states are not the "incidence kings" of Europe, the further behavior of the government of Morocco must be awaited. The German Foreign Ministry says, among other things, that the short-term expansion to other EU countries cannot be ruled out.

Morocco only issued the order today, effectively giving airlines and tour operators no lead time to act on the situation. People who have booked a package tour to Morocco for the next few days should contact their tour operator or travel agent immediately. Individual travelers should contact their airline, especially if they are currently in Morocco.

Direct flights (in contrast to non-stop flights, these have at least one stopover) and transfer connections are not covered by the ban. An entry ban has not yet been issued, at least at this point in time.
