Morocco is set to become an even more attractive destination for UK travelers with the launch of expanded flight and holiday programs by Jet2.com and Jet2holidays. This initiative, part of Morocco’s broader "Light in Action" strategy, aims to enhance the country’s aerial connectivity with key global markets, making it easier for international tourists to visit.

The Moroccan National Tourism Office (ONMT) announced that the first flights under this initiative have departed from the UK to Morocco, marking a significant step in boosting tourism between the two countries. This expansion is expected to increase Morocco’s appeal to UK travelers and further stimulate tourism growth.

The launch included flights to Agadir, one of Morocco’s most popular coastal destinations, from four major UK airports: Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted, and Manchester. Additional services to Agadir are set to begin from Bristol on October 6 and from Glasgow on November 3.

Starting tomorrow, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will expand their offerings to include flights and holiday packages to Marrakech. These routes will initially operate from Birmingham, Manchester, and London Stansted, with Glasgow services launching on November 4.

The new routes provide year-round access to Morocco from six UK airports, offering greater flexibility and options for travelers. Bookings are now open for the Winter 2024/25, Summer 2025, and Winter 2025/26 seasons.

Looking ahead, Jet2.com and Jet2holidays plan to expand their operations to eight UK airports by Summer 2026. This includes new weekly flights to Agadir from East Midlands and Newcastle airports, further increasing travel options for holidaymakers.

In a statement, Jet2.com highlighted Morocco as a prime destination for UK tourists, offering an ideal escape from the UK's often gloomy weather. “This new program of flights and holidays to Morocco has been launched in response to demand from customers and independent travel agents who are seeking new cultural destinations as well as guaranteed sunshine,” reads the announcement.

This strategic move by Jet2.com and Jet2holidays aligns with Morocco’s broader tourism goals, aiming to attract more visitors and bolster the country’s economy. The enhanced connectivity is expected to not only benefit the tourism sector but also foster stronger ties between Morocco and the UK.

With these expanded flight routes, Morocco is poised to become an even more appealing destination for UK travelers seeking a blend of cultural experiences and sunny escapes.
