Atlas Blue, subsidiary of the Moroccan carrier Royal Air Maroc, will open several new routes this coming winter. The program, called "Winter 2006", will start on October 29 with flights from Marrakech to Mulhouse and Bologne with a daily connection through to Paris. The Marrakech-Bologne route will be scheduled twice a week as of February 2007.
Fes does not miss out, with the Fes-Marseille route scheduled three times a week and Oujda-Marseille twice a week.
Atlas Blue is reinforcing its existing destinations ensuring six weekly flights between Marrakech and Lyon, four flights per week from Marrakech to both Bordeaux and Toulouse and two or three flights to Nice.
The Marrakech-Nantes route will be serviced four times weekly in winter and Marrakech-Lille twice a week. Atlas Blue is also maintaining its daily Marrakech-London flight and is to add an eighth in a week as of February. Milan is to be serviced daily, Brussels five times a week and Geneva four times.
To secure the flights, Atlas Blue has bought in 2006 an Airbus A321 and a Boeing 737-800, increasing its fleet to eight planes.
RAM and Atlas Blue flew 4,104,126 passengers by the end of September 2005, a rise of 21% compared to the same period in 2004.
