Morocco’s Royal Air Maroc scales back flights due to fuel costs

RABAT: Morocco’s state-owned carrier Royal Air Maroc (RAM) ​said on Saturday it would temporarily suspend several routes to African and European destinations due to ‌rising jet ‌fuel ​prices, ‌elevated ⁠operating ​costs and ⁠weak demand. Tensions in the Middle East have driven a surge in global jet fuel ⁠prices, putting ‌pressure ‌on carriers ​and ‌prompting temporary route suspensions. RAM ‌will pause flights linking Moroccan airports with several African cities ‌of Bangui, Brazzaville, Kinshasa, Douala, Yaounde and ⁠Libreville, ⁠the airline said in a statement.
