Ryanair Expands Summer Routes from Marseille, Adding Morocco Destinations

Despite the crisis, Ryanair is offering for the summer of 2021, 7 new destinations including Essaouira and Tétouan in Morocco. The other destinations are Bari in Italy, Alghero in Sardinia, Minorca in Spain, Rhodes and Corfu in Greece. The Irish low-cost airline has announced that it will connect a total of 49 destinations during the summer period from Marseille-Provence airport. For Julien Boullay, marketing and commercial director of the airport, "this is a sign of confidence that Ryanair gives us, which is the second airline in terms of traffic just behind Air France and the first in terms of destinations offered."

"Vaccination campaigns are accelerating in most countries, and this makes us optimistic. By early July, almost all countries will be able to allow travel, even if the program is likely to be modified depending on the evolution of the situation," said Dana Brady, Ryanair’s marketing director, also stating that the company is working to refund customers for canceled tickets due to Covid-19. "All eligible passengers will be refunded but it takes longer if they bought the ticket through an agency," he explains, before inviting those concerned to fill out a customer verification form on the company’s website.
