Morocco's regional airlines - on the web.
So many people who fly into Morocco for a holiday are unaware that there is now a well developed network of flights around the country. For those on a limited time schedule, flying between cities is a much better option. For example, why spend nine hours on the train when a short flight will get you from Fez to Marrakech.
The flights service Fez, Tangier, Agadir, Dahkla, Al Hoceima, Casablanca Errachidia, Essaouira, Laayounne, Nador, Marrakech, Ouazazarte and Tan Tan.
There are also some very handy regional connections to the Canary Islands, Lisbon, Malaga and Valencia.
The website is modern, smart and easy to use - as long as you speak French. French? Yes, once again a Moroccan tourist website has failed to grasp the fact that the biggest growth area in Moroccan tourism is English speaking. I should, in their defense, point out that they do have a link to an English and Spanish page - but no such page is actually there. Ho Hum... with the new tourist season about to start, we hope they get their act together a little faster than is usually the case. Trying to get the English and Spanish sites up before 2010 would be a goal worth attaining.
You will find the site here: Regional Airlines

what's the url for their site
Source was an email from Mourad that linked to the site.
We have a small team of researchers who scour the net and we don't make it a policy to mention who gave us what lead - unless it is a major scoop! With the number of stories we post that would not be practical.
Shukran Samir! You beat me to it by several seconds! In fact I got the story from Rastas who read a ref to it somewhere, checked it out and commented that the Spanish link didn't work. So if you want to thanks someone - Go Rastas!

Guys! Guys! If you want to thank someone, what about the real source? I have been following the regional airlines since the first four Beach 1000 D aircraft were bought a few years ago. Rastas and I got the info from Arabic news first time and have an alert set for all airline stuff. Sometimes Rastas gets to it first, sometimes I do! So go have mint tea and leave the real work to the women!
Good story. I did not know it was possible to fly around Morocco. Thank you.
