Yet another low-cost airline "Jet4You" is cashing in on the growing interest in Morocco. The airline will start seven new weekly flights linking the French airport Orly to Casablanca as of October 29. .
According to chairman Jawad Ziyat "Jet4you is the first low-cost operator to fly the Casablanca-Paris-Orly air line along with Corsair."
Since its inauguration flight on February 26, the company serviced 679 flights linking the cities of Marrakech, Fès and Agadir to Paris-Orly, and Marrakech to Nantes and Bordeaux, the company chairman highlighted, adding that up to September 30, the company flew some 92,255 passengers, reaching a 79% seat fill capacity and a 72% punctuality rate.
The airline projects to transport 160,000 passengers in the first year of its operation before reaching 900,000 in 2008 and 1.7 million in 2010.
The company’s euro 5.5Mn capital is owned at 40% by tourism word leader and 5th European carrier TIU group, and at 60% by Moroccan shareholders.
The company was created in the wake of the "Open Sky" agreement signed recently by Morocco and the European Union to liberalize the sector in Morocco.
A new route linking Paris to Ouarzazate will be established by the end of October.
