In other airline news,  the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT) has signed a partnership agreement with German tour operator FTI in Munich to operate flights to Marrakech.

This agreement concerns the organisation of four flights per week to Marrakech from four German cities, Hanover, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Cologne.

This partnership is of paramount importance in that it promotes the city of Marrakech with a tour operator known in the market, explained to the ONMT.

It will promote new flights and reinforce others already launched under previously signed agreements.
