Rabat – Royal Air Maroc (RAM) announced today that flights scheduled for March 31 from and to Belgium will be exceptionally canceled.
The airline announced the news on its social platforms, noting that flights AT832 and AT833 on March 31 will be canceled due to a strike in Belgium.
In its statement, Royal Air Maroc assured that it is doing “everything possible” to limit the impact of the situation to ensure a smooth service.
“We thank our passengers for their patience and understanding during this exceptional situation, which is beyond our control,” the airline said.
The airline invited passengers of the flights to contact RAM’s call center or consult the airline website for any additional information regarding the arrangement in their favor.
The Brussels Times said the strike will cover the whole country as workers from both the private and public sectors will go on strike protesting the new Federal Government’s budget cuts.
“It will cause disruptions across the entire country as flights are cancelled, public transport will be disrupted, and employees will take to the streets to denounce the anti-social measures in the coalition agreement,” the news outlet said.
Brussels Airport announced that no passenger flights will depart from Zaventem on Monday, noting that 244 flights are canceled.
The news outlet further stressed that cancellations are expected to also affect arriving flights.
The news might affect diaspora members, who booked the same canceled flights to fly to Morocco to celebrate Eid Al Fitr at home.
The North African country is expected to announce Monday as Eid.
The country is yet to confirm the official date after sighting the crescent moon for the month o Shawwal, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
