Morocco: Air traffic controllers threaten to strike on 3-18 August
Morocco’s Unified National Bureau of Air Traffic Controllers, a representative body of air traffic controllers in Morocco, issued a notice restricting the number of air traffic movements in Casablanca.
The social movement, which will span for a 15-day period, starts on August 3, 2022.
This includes:
- The acceptance of only one air traffic every 30 minutes per FIR/UIR entry point across all flight levels including in Agadir and Casablanca.
- Only one hour is permitted between two departures from Marrakech and Agadir.
- Only one hour is permitted between two departures in Casablanca and in the northern, southern, and eastern sectors of Morocco.
The restrictions will not apply to state flights, sanitary flights, flights in emergency situations and national military flights.
Passengers planning to fly into or out of Morocco during the strike dates should contact their airline to confirm flight status.
