Congolese club Mazembe strongly attacked Royal Air Maroc (LARAM) due to the cancellation of three consecutive flights from Kinshasa to Casablanca, forcing the team to spend the night at the airport for two days.
Mazembe Club had booked a flight from Kinshasa Airport to Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca, after which they would head to Nouakchott Airport in Mauritania with a view to meeting Sudanese team Al Hilal next Sunday in part of the second round of the group stage of the African Champions League.
The crisis began when the first flight, scheduled for Thursday morning, was canceled, then postponed to midnight Friday due to technical problems with the plane, and the flight was postponed again after a fault in the system was discovered of the plane.
Subsequently, team management was informed that the flight had been postponed until Saturday morning, resulting in the loss of connection with the connecting flight to Mauritania.
The malfunction of the Royal Air Maroc Boeing 737-800 plane disrupted the team’s schedule, forcing players to miss training for two days.
As a result, the club wrote to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to request the match be postponed, thus prolonging the ‘Laram’ scandal and adding Congolese team Mazembe to the list of those affected.
