Ryanair Expands Morocco Routes, Boosts Summer Flight Capacity

Eddie Wilson, CEO of Ryanair, held several working meetings with the teams in Morocco, as part of the signing of a strategic partnership with Adel El Fakir, Director General of the Moroccan National Tourist Office, and Jason McGuinness, Commercial Director of the company, before signing the partnership agreement that formalizes the company’s commitments to Morocco for the next summer season.

For Adel El Fakir, DG of the ONMT, "good air programming is a sine qua non condition for a rapid and sustainable recovery of tourism activity. This is now one of our priority missions. The presence of Ryanair’s CEO in Morocco is a strong signal of the company’s confidence in the destination."

For the Summer 2022 season, the Irish company is committed to a record capacity of 2,073,600 seats, an increase of 54% compared to 2019, the pre-Covid reference year. Eddie Wilson, CEO of Ryanair, stressed that the partnership with Morocco is an ambitious project due to the strong attractiveness and growing demand from year to year from travelers for the Moroccan destination. "We are therefore very pleased to announce an ambitious partnership with the ONMT, in a context of recovery that looks very promising," he said.

Ryanair plans to serve Morocco from 45 European airports to 10 Moroccan destinations, namely Agadir, Essaouira, Fez, Marrakech, Nador, Ouarzazate, Oujda, Rabat, Tangier and Tetouan.
