Flight disruption Morocco

Five Moroccan airports have been closed today due to the Icelandic volcanic ash cloud.

Casablanca, Rabat-Sale, Tangiers, Tetouan and Essaouira airports are expected to remain closed until at least 18:00 GMT as the ash that has casued so much trouble in European air space moves on to North Africa.

The Eyjafjallajokul volcano erupted in mid April, causing five days of chaos for European travellers.

If you are travelling too or from any of the affected airports, we advise you check with your airline before setting off.  Flights to Spain, Turkey and the Canary Islands have also been affected by this latest cloud.
