The Irish airline Ryanair launched its new air route between Madrid and Dakhla on Wednesday, with two weekly flights (Wednesday and Saturday).
The inaugural flight of this new air route landed at Dakhla airport carrying Moroccans living abroad and foreign tourists, thereby strengthening air links between Morocco and Spain, as part of a memorandum of understanding signed between the Moroccan National Tourism Office (ONMT) and the airline Ryanair. On this occasion, a ceremony was held in the presence of several local officials and tourism sector stakeholders. Thus, Ryanair becomes the fourth partner of the ONMT to open a direct international route to Dakhla, after Royal Air Maroc (RAM), Binter Canarias, and Transavia.
In addition to this air link, another flight connecting Dakhla to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands will also be launched during the current month, with two frequencies per week. These new air routes will double the airport's current international capacity, bringing the offer to nearly 47,000 seats. They will also make Spain the leading source market for Dakhla, ahead of France.
