Moroccan air traffic controller union issues notice of restrictions

Morocco’s Unified National Bureau of Air Traffic Controllers, a representative body of air traffic controllers in Morocco, issued a notice restricting the number of air traffic movements in FIR/UIR Casablanca.

The “social movement”, which will span for a 15-day period, starts on August 3, 2022.

According to a press statement released by the union, and published by Newsaero, the restrictions placed on air traffic movements will follow certain “modalities”.

This includes:

• The acceptance of only one air traffic every 30 minutes per FIR/UIR entry point across all flight levels including in Agadir and Casablanca.
• Only one hour is permitted between two departures from Marrakech and Agadir.
• Only one hour is permitted between two departures in Casablanca and in the northern, southern, and eastern sectors of Morocco.
