So far, 160,000 Ryanair customers have been affected by the canceled flights due to the uncertainty. With this new decision to cancel all flights to Morocco until February 1, 2022, an additional 230,000 passengers will have to adjust their travel plans. The Irish low-cost airline said it regretted the decision but said it was necessary due to the “lack of contact with the Moroccan authorities”.

The airline has ensured that all affected passengers have been contacted by email, text message or through its platform, to apologize for the inconvenience caused and to offer them a free flight change, voucher or refund.
