Ryanair, an Irish low-cost airline, announced on Wednesday that 1, 100 weekly flights across 175 routes, including 35 new routes, will be operating in Morocco starting from next summer, according to a press release.
This extension is part of a $1.4 billion project aimed at delivering over 5 million passengers to and within the kingdom, representing a 33% increase in traffic.
It also includes ultra-low costs on 11 Moroccan domestic routes, broadening internal connectivity and traffic growth.
The investment involves the establishment of Ryanair’s fourth Moroccan base in Tangier with two new aircraft, with an investment of $200 million, in addition to the expansion of services to Beni-Mellal and Errachidia airports.
This project in Morocco, hence, surpasses $1.4 billion in aircraft, ensuring roughly 500 highly paid direct jobs for pilots, cabin crew, and engineers, as well as 1,000 tourism support jobs, helping economic growth in 12 Moroccan cities.
“This is a historic day for the partnership between Ryanair and the Kingdom of Morocco,” commented Eddie Wilson, Ryanair DAC’s CEO.
He continued, “Ryanair supports the development of tourism infrastructure in Morocco in advance of the 2030 World Cup – with Ryanair cheering on the Atlas Lions.”
Eddie thanked King Mohammed VI and Morocco’s ministers for their vision and trust in securing a record investment for Morocco.
He stressed Ryanair’s commitment to continuing to enhance Morocco’s infrastructure, connectivity, and tourism, with the hope that these efforts will be supported and driven by the airline’s famed low fares and industry-leading punctuality.
