Israeli carrier Arkia has announced a suspension of ticket sales and flights on its route to Marrakesh, Morocco, until further notice, following instructions from Israeli security authorities, Kan 11 and Globes reported.

Arkia's decision follows a similar step taken last week by Israir, which froze its flights on the route due to security demands. Arkia stated that it is in continuous contact with authorities to evaluate the future operation of the route and arrangements for passengers who have already purchased tickets.

The specific security concerns behind the directives and the expected duration of the freeze have not yet been released.
