Flights to Morocco more expensive?

Kerosene, which accounts for 15% to 30% of carriers’ operating costs, is under direct pressure from the volatility of energy markets. According to economist Mohammed Jadri, interviewed by Hespress, if the price of a barrel stabilizes around $100, travelers could see the price of their tickets rise by 7% to 10% in the near future.

However, the final price does not depend solely on fuel. "The price of a ticket is also influenced by the costs of human resources, airport fees, taxes and aircraft maintenance," Jadri points out. This diversified cost structure, coupled with the strong presence of low-cost airlines, allows Morocco to maintain a certain competitiveness in the face of the energy crisis.

The resilience of Moroccan tourism remains the main reason for hope. After welcoming 19.8 million visitors last year, the Kingdom is now aiming for between 21 and 22 million tourists for the current year. This strong international momentum could offset the psychological impact of rising prices on overall travel demand.

However, military tensions in the Middle East, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, continue to be a concern. Youssef Guerraoui Filali, president of the Moroccan Center for Governance, explains that this instability is increasing the demand for strategic fuels. These conditions could lead some travelers to postpone their plans or disrupt transit rhythms in international hubs.
