Air Arabia Maroc... Is this making any sense..?
Hi... Recently a flight supposed to be around 30 minutes time, took around 4 hours and an half because the pilot didn't choose to divert (Tanger to Nador, fog in Nador) ... The distance was around 270 kms and by car would cost less than half the time... According one of the passengers the airplane did more than 50 orbits with some sickness starting to arise. It seems all the airports in the vicinity were cavok.

What could be the reason for pilot in command choosing this option?
Until now the airline didn't want to comment.
