EasyJet bets big on Marrakech

EasyJet is shifting into high gear in Morocco. This Wednesday, April 15, the company inaugurated its base at Marrakech Menara airport in the presence of the director of the ONMT. Three aircraft are now permanently stationed there. The stated objective is to reach four million seats in the first year of operation to strengthen flows from Europe.

The network is expanding with the launch of six new routes. From the winter of 2026, Marrakech will be connected to Prague, Newcastle and Zurich. The following spring, Essaouira and Agadir will welcome flights from Nantes, Bordeaux and Birmingham. The company now serves five Moroccan cities and has established itself as the third largest airline operator in the country.

The local impact is immediate with the creation of around a hundred direct jobs. This establishment is part of a strategic partnership signed with the ONMT in the fall of 2025. The Moroccan National Tourist Office specifies that this deployment also allows the development of the "easyJet holidays" offer, which already offers more than 70 selected hotel establishments in the ochre city.
