Tourists visiting Morocco and Moroccan citizens interested in flying to Israel may soon be able to take advantage of a direct flight from Casablanca to Tel Aviv. The flight would be provided by Israel’s airline El Al. According to Israeli free daily newspaper Israel Hayom claims that it may indeed be in the cards.
El Al CEO Gonen Usishkin was recently in Morocco to attend a tourism conference. While there, he discussed the possibility of this new flight with representatives of Royal Air Maroc, Morocco’s national carrier. Casablanca is a popular destination for Israeli’s and also American travelers. This potential new flight will open up the market to increase tourism for both countries. Speculation has it that a May is the potential launch month for a Casablanca – Tel Aviv direct flight.
