[Curiosities] Moroccans in US Continue to Denounce Skyrocketing Royal Air Maroc Ticket Prices

[BirSaNN]

Morocco-US tickets are soaring across all routes as round-trip tickets from New York to Casablanca have exceeded $1,700.

Rabat - Calls to boycott Morocco’s national carrier Royal Air Maroc (RAM) are gaining traction, as more people take to social media to denounce the skyrocketing prices of US-Morocco ticket prices. 

As of May 2023, a single roundtrip ticket from Dulles International (IAD) in Washington to Mohammed V (CMN) in Casablanca soared to a staggering $2,260 for economy class.

“The price of Royal Air Maroc tickets is very much exaggerated from the United States of America to Morocco: 2000$,” one Twitter user wrote in contempt.

“And from Europe to Morocco between 450 € to 600 € and only god knows why Morocco has become one of the highest priced countries in the world,” the tweet reads.

Morocco-US tickets are soaring across all routes as round-trip tickets from New York to Casablanca have also exceeded $1,700.

“A message from the Moroccan community to Royal Air Maroc @RAM_Maroc Please reconsider your prices,” one Moroccan Facebook user wrote.

“We are the community residing in America and Canada. Ticket prices have reached unimaginable levels for one person, even if it’s a child,” she added.

In an expression of indignation, the Facebook user wrote, “Do you only care about personal profit or letting the community enter the country and contribute to the national economy?” 

“Please improve the services provided to us, reduce the price of tickets, and do not use every occasion to increase prices,” she added.

In a private Facebook page for Moroccan women in the US, one frustrated user wrote, “Will no one speak out against the rising ticket prices that are closing on the $2000 threshold?”

The shockingly high prices of US-Morocco RAM flight tickets are even more apparent when compared to price tickets from the US to Dubai provide by Emirate airlines, which stand at $1653.
