This is the airline’s first base in Africa, where it will station three aircraft. The base is expected to create up to 100 direct jobs and several thousand indirect jobs. The project has been made possible through a development partnership with the Moroccan National Tourist Office (MNTO).
easyJet is the second-largest airline in Marrakech, operating routes that connect the city with destinations across Europe. Next winter, the carrier will launch three new routes — Marrakech–Prague, Marrakech–Newcastle, and Marrakech–Zurich — bringing the total number of routes from Marrakech to 30.
In addition, several existing routes, namely Marrakech–Lille, Marrakech–Strasbourg, and Marrakech–Hamburg, will be converted to year-round services. From Morocco overall, easyJet will open new routes including Nantes–Essaouira and Bordeaux–Agadir and Birmingham–Agadir, and will operate a total of 58 routes to and from Morocco.
