More flights will operate between Manchester and Morocco
Manchester Airport has announced a new direct route to a Moroccan coastal city. Royal Air Maroc will operate flights three times a week to Casablanca in the North African country.
Although the film wasn’t shot there, there is a romance to the city thanks to its art deco architecture and sea views. The city is an ideal gateway for further exploration of sub-Saharan Africa, opening up opportunities for travellers. Lucie Hinton, head of aviation business development, said: “Here at Manchester Airport we’re proud to connect the North to the world and we’re always looking for exciting new routes to offer to the people of the region. Casablanca is a really exciting destination – it showcases modern Morocco alongside more traditional sights alongside a fantastic seafront that also means it benefits from a cool breeze. On top of this it’s a great base for further exploration of Morocco.
Zoubida Smahi, Royal Air Maroc general manager for the UK, said: “As part of its expansion plan, Royal Air Maroc is delighted to participate in strengthening the connections between Morocco and the UK through the re-launch of the direct flights from Manchester to Casablanca. This new service facilitates seamless travel from the North to Morocco and beyond.
