Airlines hang on to daylight saving in Morocco

In a follow-up to our previous story about daylight saving being changed for Ramadan, comes the news that airlines in Morocco have decided to maintain, daylight saving time until September 27 for all their flights to and from Morocco. The entire daylight saving issue appears to have become somewhat of a fiasco. Hopefully there will be some level-headed thinking before next year.

Following Morocco's decision to switch back to GMT regular time as of September 1st, flight schedules of Royal Air Maroc, its low-cost subsidiary Atlas Blue, and private carrier Jet4You to and from Morocco will be ahead one hour.

Customers of Royal Air Maroc and Atlas Blue, who bought their tickets before August 27, will have their departure and arrival schedules shifted one hour ahead, while this measure does not concern those who bought tickets after the that date date.

According to a Jet4You press release, similar measures should be observed by costumers who brought the company's tickets before August 28.
