Can I travel to Morocco?

Morocco has banned all UK flights from today.

This means flights departing from any airport in the UK can no longer go ahead.

Airlines including easyJet, TUI and British Airways have announced that they have suspended all flights until further notice.

Morocco is yet to announce when the flight ban will end, although will likely be when the UK's Covid cases drop.

Can I travel back to the UK from Morocco?

Some airlines have already offered repatriation flights from Morocco to help Brits who are currently in the country return to the UK.

EasyJet told the that they will continue to operate after today for returning Brits, saying yesterday: "We are still awaiting clarity from the Moroccan authorities as to whether we are permitted to operate repatriation flights beyond midnight today”.

TUI says they currently have around 2,000 Brits still in Morocco and are yet to explain how they will be returned.

However, flights are not in operation either to or from Morocco otherwise.

What happens if I have a holiday booked to Morocco?

Airlines and tour operators are cancelling any flights and holidays to Morocco for the next few weeks.

TUI has cancelled them until October 31, while BA and easyJet have suspended similar routes for the next few weeks.

This is likely to be extended until the flight ban is lifted, which might not happen until the end of the year.

If you have your flights or holiday cancelled, you will likely be offered a full refund or a voucher, or to move the holiday to another date free of charge.

TUI said: "We are contacting customers in departure date order to discuss their options, which include amending to another destination or a full refund."

EasyJet said: "We are contacting all customers whose flights are cancelled with their options, which include a free of charge transfer, receiving a voucher or a refund."

If you have flights or a holiday booked for later in the year, you should not cancel them yourself just yet as you will not be entitled to a refund.
