After the announcement of the set-up of an exceptional rate to allow the return of Moroccans living abroad, in accordance with royal instructions, RAM faced an explosion of booking demands.
In only one night, 120,000 bookings were made on their website, causing an overload of the servers. The day after, it was the Brussels’ agency that had to face a high demand with a very high affluence. The police had to intervene to maintain order and the agency had to close the following day.
The consequence of this high demand was a saturation of the flights, especially for the months of June and July. The additional flights that have just been announced should give an answer, if only in part, to the high expectations of the Moroccan community living in Europe.
