The new direct air route linking Morocco’s Agadir and Netherlands’ Amsterdam was inaugurated on Tuesday, with the first flight served by an aircraft from the Air France-KLM “Transavia” low-cost airline.
The plane landed on the runway at Agadir Al Massira airport from Amsterdam airport with 176 passengers on board, according to a press release from the Agadir Souss Massa Regional Tourism Board.
Fruit of a partnership between the Souss Massa Regional Council and the Agadir Souss Massa Tourism Regional Council, this new link will help strengthen Agadir’s air connectivity, as well as promoting the region’s tourism momentum.
This initiative will further enhance the attractiveness of Agadir, which currently offers over 30 international destinations operated by several airlines, in addition to domestic flights to Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, Tangier, Laâyoune and Dakhla.
According to the National Airports Office (ONDA), Agadir Al Massira airport will welcome 3.1 million passengers in 2024, representing strong growth of 36% compared with 2023.
To bolster this momentum, a project to extend the airport’s infrastructure will be launched shortly, with the aim of modernizing and enlarging the hub.
