RABAT, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- Royal Air Maroc (RAM), Morocco's flag carrier, has cancelled more than 160 flights in three weeks because of an ongoing partial strike by the airline's pilots.
On Wednesday, the airline was forced to cancel one more flight between Morocco's largest airport in Casablanca and the tourist hub of Agadir. It is the first time that only one flight is cancelled for a day since the beginning of the strike.
Tensions between RAM and its pilots started in mid July after months-long bilateral talks ended up without an agreement.
The pilots association demands a rise in wages, increasing monthly holidays from four to five days like their foreign peers working for the company.
According to local media, the two sides have held several meetings to end the pilots protest, yet with no tangible results.
