Air travel increases in Morocco providing better conditions for those moving abroad
Morocco could become a more attractive prospect for Brits moving abroad as air travel to the country is booming, reports ANSAmed.
The internet news provider reports that the number of international flights into the country has doubled in recent years.
Flights from London to Marrakesh take on average three and a half hours, which is only slightly longer than visiting Greece or Italy. This coupled with the creation of the country’s first low-cost airlines could make it a new destination for business travel.
In an interview with the internet news provider Hamid Zhar, air transport director for Morocco, said that air travel in the country has been faring well despite the recession.
He said: ”Low-cost airlines such as Ryanair and Easyjet, have come onto the market with large-scale passenger capacity and frequent flights, which are increasing in number every year.”
The areas around Casablanca are no longer the main destination and other cities are benefitting from an increase in traffic.
Morocco made an agreement about common airspace with the European Union which has led to the increase in international flights. Predictions that ten million tourists will a year will visit the country by 2010 are gaining in credibility.
