Morocco’s nationwide airline explained it was canceling all flights it experienced scheduled for Wednesday to carry lovers to Doha for the Planet Cup semi-remaining, citing what it mentioned was a decision by Qatari authorities.

“Subsequent the most up-to-date limits imposed by the Qatari authorities, Royal Air Maroc regrets to inform clients of the cancellation of their flights operated by Qatar Airways,” the airline stated in an emailed assertion.

RAM claimed it would reimburse air tickets and apologized to buyers.

The RAM spokesperson did not instantly react to Reuters ask for for remark. Qatar Airways did not right away answer to Reuters ask for for comment.
