Royal Jordanian to Launch Direct Amman-Casablanca Flights in October
Marrakech – Royal Jordanian Airlines will begin operating regular direct flights between Amman and Casablanca starting mid-October, announced Jordanian Ambassador to Morocco Jumana Ghunaimat. The new air route aims to strengthen cooperation between the two kingdoms while supporting travel, tourism, and trade exchange. It will also reinforce cultural and economic ties between Jordan and Morocco. 'This direct flight represents a major step in consolidating bilateral relations,' Ghunaimat stated in a press declaration. The ambassador noted that the route will reduce travel time to approximately five hours, facilitating movement for travelers and businesspeople between both countries. Royal Jordanian, established in 1963 as Jordan's national carrier, currently operates a fleet of 26 aircraft serving 45 destinations worldwide from its hub at Queen Alia International Airport. The airline is a member of the oneworld alliance, which connects passengers to a network of 1,100 airports across more than 180 territories through 12 air partnerships. The Amman-Casablanca connection is considered a strategic move that will serve as an 'air bridge' linking the Arab East and West. It will promote mutual openness between the two peoples, according to the ambassador.

She affirmed it demonstrates their shared commitment to enhancing bilateral cooperation across various fields, including investment, tourism, culture, and education. This announcement follows earlier developments from late February, when the ambassador stated that the Jordanian government had submitted an official request to exempt Moroccan citizens from visa requirements. That request came as part of preparations for launching the direct air route, which was initially expected to be established within two months of the February announcement. The visa exemption initiative was designed to facilitate travel movement and strengthen bilateral relations between the countries, potentially boosting tourism and commercial exchange once the direct flights begin operating.

Morocco Denies Rumors of Drop in Diaspora Arrivals, Cites Success of Marhaba 2025
Rabat – As of August 4, over 2.78 million diaspora members have entered Morocco as part of Marhaba 2025, an operation facilitating the transit of travelers during the summer season. Omar Moussa Abdallah, a personnel member in charge of projects and supervisor of the Marhaba operation at the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, shared the data on Tuesday in a statement on Tangier Med Radio. He said that the number of vehicles that entered Morocco since the launch of the Marhaba operation reached 838,360 cars from June 10 until August 4. Diaspora's entry to Morocco marked an increase of 10.37% compared to 2024, while vehicle transits reflected an increase of 3.74%. The remarks came in response to rumors suggesting a sharp decline in the return of the Moroccan diaspora for the summer season. Many on social media had attributed the alleged drop to the rising cost of travel and the high cost of living in Morocco. The foundation's personnel said the newly shared official figures are contrary to circulating rumors, which he described as 'unfounded.' 'Marhaba 02025 is witnessing significant success and is running smoothly on all fronts,' he said. The Tangier Med Port received 555,753 individuals and 175,808 vehicles of diaspora members. The number accounts for 34.87% of total arrivals by sea and land crossings. Casablanca's Mohammed V Airport topped air entries with 320,395 arrivals. The number represents 25% of Moroccan expatriates arriving through airports. He also commented on the efforts and services of the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, pointing out that entry points delivered a total of 45,465 social, medical, and administrative services. The number includes 2,858 medical services, among them emergency transport for around 50 cases to hospitals as well as transport assistance for over 800 travelers, whose vehicles broke down or who were stranded. Jaafar Ameyer, director of Tangier Med Passenger Port, celebrated the hub as the main gateway for members of the diaspora entering the country. He said the number of passengers and vehicles arriving through the port as part of Marhaba grew by 6% and 4 %, respectively.
