The Director-General of the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT), Adel El Fakir, held a meeting on Friday in Dublin with the top management of the Irish low-cost airline Ryanair.
“After Paris and London, the ONMT Task Force is stopping off in Dublin, Ryanair’s stronghold, to meet the company’s Top Management, in particular Jason McGuinness, Ryanair’s commercial director, ” said a press release from the Office.
This is a highly strategic move for the ONMT, underlines the same source, recalling that Ryanair, being a major partner of the Morocco destination, is one of the main players in the air activity of the Kingdom.
“Today, we were able to strongly reconfirm our partnership with Ryanair, Europe’s leading airline. The imminent resumption of the company’s programming on its various Moroccan destinations will therefore have a strong impact on the entire national tourist ecosystem, “said El Fakir, quoted in the press release.
For the summer 2022 season (April-October 2022), the Irish company intends to finalize its Moroccan programming with a capacity that will exceed by more than 50% that of the same period of 2019. Seat capacity will therefore be growing on the destination.
The company connects Morocco from 51 European airports to 10 Moroccan destinations and represents a leading player in the development of Europe-Morocco point-to-point lines, with more than 117 routes.
With more than 2.5 million seats per year and a third of the air market share in Morocco (2019 figures before the health crisis), the company is the leader in terms of seat capacity in the destination (excluding the Casablanca hub). ).
In addition, Ryanair had opened an airbase in Agadir following a ratified partnership with the ONMT, allowing the company to base two aircraft and involving a massive injection of seat capacity to Agadir.
This week’s launch of the tour of Morocco’s main strategic markets by the Director-General of the Office confirms the momentum of the initial tour with a view to returning to the front line of Morocco’s main strategic markets, concludes the press release.
