EasyJet ramps up Morocco expansion
Leisure airline easyJet has unveiled ambitious growth plans in Morocco, opening a new three aircraft base in Marrakech from spring next year.
This long-term partnership signed with the Moroccan National Tourism Office will allow the airline to offer a record four million seats within the first year.
The new permanent year-round base in Marrakech will enable the creation of a hundred new jobs.
EasyJet also announced the launch of four new routes to Morocco bringing the total number of routes to 46.
Hamburg, Lille and Strasbourg will be connected to Marrakech from next summer onwards.
In total easyJet will operate to 24 destinations from Marrakech.
Geneva-Tangier will also launch as an exclusive route and several existing routes will also see their frequencies increased.
This development plan will also be reflected in the easyJet holidays proposition.
This year will be easyJet’s 20th serving the Moroccan market with around 20 million customers flown over that time.
Kenton Jarvis, CEO of easyJet, said: “There is no doubt Morocco is a key market for easyJet: we are the largest carrier to Morocco from the UK and from Switzerland, and Morocco is our fastest growing market outside Europe.”
