Arkia to resume direct Israel-Morocco flights after three years
Israeli airline Arkia restarting direct flights to Marrakech in August after a three-year hiatus, signalling renewed travel interest despite regional tensions
Assessment
The resumption of direct flights between Israel and Morocco, after a three-year pause, tests whether commercial ties can withstand ongoing regional tensions. Arkia's move suggests enough demand exists to make the route viable, independent of broader diplomatic fluctuations. The key signal to watch is whether other carriers follow suit, which would indicate a durable travel corridor rather than a one-off.
