Dlimi Airlines, the startup airline in Morocco, plans to launch passenger flights in the third quarter of 2022.
A report from airline news outlet ch-aviation reported that Dlimi Airline has lodged a license application with Morocco’s General Civil Aviation Directorate (DGAC).
Hamza Dlimi, the founder and CEO of Dlimi Airlines, has entered into negotiations with airplane manufacturer Embraer to acquire two passenger planes.
The company intends to launch passenger flights in all major Moroccan cities in 2020, with an external plane offering to West Africa, the Canary Islands, and France, according to the startup’s website.
In addition to developing tourism, the startup intends to explore the advantages of water sports, especially kitesurfing, since Dakhla receives 300 days of wind annually, according to the founder.
Despite having a small international airport, Dakhla is on the agenda of government programs aimed at promoting tourism and stimulating socio-economic development in the region.
Data from Morocco’s National Airline Authority (ONDA) shows that Dakhla’s international airport will be expanded significantly over the next two years, boosting its capacity to one million passengers per year.
Several of Morocco’s mega-infrastructure projects are being built in Dakhla, including a $1.2 billion deep-sea port and state-of-the-art industrial area.
In Additionally, Dakhla has a youthful demographic and the highest GDP per capita in Morocco, which draws public investment.
