Ryanair Expands Morocco Flights, Boosting Summer Capacity by 50%

After Paris, London, Adel El Fakir and his team headed to Dublin (Ireland) on Friday, where they met with Ryanair’s Commercial Director, Jason McGuinness. During a working meeting, the latter confirmed the airline’s commitments in terms of capacity on Morocco. For the summer season (April-October 2022), Ryanair plans to finalize its Moroccan programming with a capacity that will exceed by more than 50% that of the same period in 2019, according to an ONMT press release following the meeting. "Today, we were able to reconfirm with strength our partnership with Ryanair, the leading European airline. The imminent resumption of the company’s programming on its various Moroccan destinations will therefore have a strong impact on the entire national tourism ecosystem," said Adel El Fakir.

The Irish low-cost airline has decided to resume its flights to Morocco starting February 7, the official date of the reopening of Moroccan air borders. As soon as the air borders reopen, the low-cost airline will resume its flights between Beauvais and Marrakech on February 8, it said on its website. According to 2019 figures, Ryanair connects Morocco with 51 European airports to 10 Moroccan destinations, and is a key player in the development of Europe-Morocco point-to-point routes, with more than 117 routes and no less than 2.5 million seats.
