Travel Restrictions Announced by Royal Air Maroc
On June 1, 2026, Royal Air Maroc (RAM) issued significant travel advisories affecting its passengers heading to the United States and those traveling to the Middle East. In light of new health measures implemented by U.S. authorities to combat the Ebola virus, RAM has announced that passengers who have recently stayed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, or South Sudan within the 21 days prior to their arrival in the United States will not be permitted to travel on RAM flights to the country. However, there may be exceptions based on U.S. guidelines, and authorized travelers may need to enter through designated airports and undergo enhanced health checks upon arrival. The airline strongly advises affected passengers to verify their eligibility for travel before departure, ensuring a smooth journey.
Flight Cancellations and Recommendations
In addition to the restrictions for travel to the U.S., Royal Air Maroc has also indicated that certain flights to the Middle East are subject to cancellations. Passengers with bookings for these flights are encouraged not to go to the airport and instead contact their original point of sale or the airline's call center to explore available options. RAM emphasizes the importance of checking flight status and updating contact information through the "Manage My Booking" section on its website, ensuring that travelers are kept informed of any changes that may affect their plans. These measures reflect the airline's commitment to passenger safety and its responsiveness to evolving international travel regulations.
