Morocco’s flag carrier RAM is considering reopening direct flights between Casablanca and Beijing, after a four-year pause that started with the outbreak of Covid 19, a RAM source said. With the expected increase in its fleet, RAM would relaunch direct Morocco-China flights in early 2025, a RAM source told Hespress. RAM used to operate three weekly flights to Beijing in 2020, before marking a halt due to the outbreak of Covid 19. Direct flights would encourage Chinese tourists to visit the Kingdom. The number of Chinese tourists increased from about 15,000 annually to 132,000 in 2018, after Morocco canceled visa requirements for Chinese nationals in 2015.
