Nationals from Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Latvia and Estonia stranded in Morocco will be repatriated this Friday from Mohammed V airport in Casablanca.
According to Nikolaj Harris, Denmark's ambassador to Morocco and Mauritania, buses with 300 Nordic citizens are «en route from all corners of Morocco» to the airport. The plane, which will land in Stockholm to repatriate these nationals, was set up by Sweden, «in close cooperation with Morocco and the Nordic teams».

Although Rabat announced that it would end the special program put in place as part of the operation to facilitate the return of foreign tourists to their countries on Sunday March 22, the Kingdom has continued to collaborate with countries, including the United States, Great Britain and South Korea, among others, to repatriate their nationals.
However, Morocco has not yet announced measures for its stranded citizens abroad, who number more than 18,000.
