EasyJet will open its first African base in 2026 at Marrakech Menara Airport, deploying three aircraft under a long-term partnership with the Moroccan National Tourism Office, the airline confirmed to Aviation Week.
The new base will anchor the carrier’s largest-ever expansion in Morocco, expected to reach a record 4 million annual seats to and from the country.
Chief Executive Kenton Jarvis said Morocco has become easyJet’s fastest-growing market outside Europe, noting that the airline is already the leading carrier between Morocco and both the United Kingdom and Switzerland.
The Marrakech base will allow easyJet to expand leisure and business connections from more European cities than ever before.
The carrier will launch four new routes, Hamburg, Lille and Strasbourg to Marrakech, and Geneva to Tangier, bringing its total Moroccan network to 46 routes and expanding operations at five airports including Marrakech, Agadir, Rabat, Essaouira and Tangier.
