Royal Air Maroc has postponed the planned resumption of its direct flights between Casablanca and Tripoli until 27 October 2026, marking another delay for a route that had been expected to restart in June.
The Moroccan national carrier had previously announced that flights between Casablanca and Tripoli would resume on 23 June 2026, with two weekly services operated by Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
The route was expected to restore direct air connectivity between Morocco and Libya after years of disruption linked to security and operational challenges. The service was also seen as an important step for passengers, business travellers, and Libyan and Moroccan communities seeking easier movement between the two countries.
According to the updated schedule, the restart has now been pushed back to late October. The company has not provided a detailed public explanation for the latest postponement.
The delay comes as several regional airlines have been reassessing routes to and from Libya, where air links remain affected by operational requirements, airport readiness, security conditions, and regulatory approvals.
The Casablanca-Tripoli route is considered significant because Casablanca is one of North Africa’s main aviation hubs, offering onward connections to Europe, West Africa, North America, and the Middle East. Its return would strengthen Libya’s international travel options and support wider economic and social links with Morocco.
Royal Air Maroc’s decision means passengers waiting for the direct service will need to continue relying on alternative routes through other regional airports until the new launch date.
