Morocco decided to reopen its borders to international air travel after recommendations from a scientific committee monitoring the epidemiological situation.
The borders have been closed since November 29 after the appearance and spread new COVID variant Omicron.
Many expressed satisfaction with Morocco’s decision to reopen its airspace for international travel, including tourism professionals. Workers in the sector suffered job losses amid a sector-wide economic crisis.
Many professionals in the sector took part in protests held to urge the government to answer their demands after they experienced financial hardship due to the border closure and subsequent slump in tourism revenue.
Airlines also lauded Morocco’s decision, with many announcing resumptions of flights to and from Morocco on February 7.
