Report accuses Air Arabia Maroc of critical safety violations, operational failures

Air Arabia Maroc, Morocco’s low-cost carrier, has been found in significant breach of international aviation safety standards following a comprehensive audit by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The audit, conducted in September, revealed eight critical (Level 1) and one significant (Level 2) safety violations, raising questions about the airline’s compliance with essential safety regulations. The European Aviation Safety Agency, or EASA, is the European Union’s aviation regulator, responsible for overseeing and enforcing air safety standards across Europe. The agency sets strict operational, maintenance, and safety requirements for airlines to ensure passenger and crew safety. EASA also conducts audits and on-site assessments of airlines operating within or into Europe to verify compliance with international and EU aviation safety rules. EASA’s investigation into Air Arabia Maroc was triggered by a confidential report alleging operational and maintenance shortcomings that could jeopardize flight safety.<br/>
