Morocco's Royal Air Maroc scales back flights due to fuel costs

Tensions in the Middle East have driven a surge in global jet fuel prices, putting pressure on carriers and prompting temporary route suspensions.

RAM will pause flights linking Moroccan airports with several African cities of Bangui, Brazzaville, Kinshasa, Douala, Yaounde and Libreville, the airline said in a statement.

It will also halt flights to the European destinations of Malaga, Barcelona, Lyon, Bordeaux, Marseille and Brussels.
