More than 40 Airlines now fly to Morocco

The airline sector in Morocco is a critical component of the nation’s economy. Without an improving airline industry, the country’s goal to attract some 10 million tourists in 2010 may be a big ask, but the deregulation of the sector means that such goal will likely be reached. For now, 40 airlines serve the Moroccan market and planners hope to triple both frequencies and capacity by 2010.


Most major airlines fly to into Morocco including Royal Air Maroc, Emirates, British Airways, Lufthansa, KLM, Air France, Alitalia, Sabena and Swissair. There are also several budget and charter airlines operating from Europe to Morocco including Atlas Blue North Africa's first low cost airline.

Other low cost airlines include Jet4U, Ryan Air, Thomsonfly, Easyjet, Air Berlin, Ltu, Jetonly, Star Arlines and Aigle Azur, just to name a few. See also our earlier story on the latest entrants in the cheap flights to Morocco stakes.
