The inaugural flight of this new air service landed at Dakhla Airport with Moroccans from abroad and foreign tourists on board, thus strengthening air links between Morocco and Spain, as part of a memorandum of understanding signed between the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT) and the airline Ryanair.
On this occasion, a ceremony was organised, in the presence of several local officials and stakeholders in the tourism sector.
Thus, Ryanair becomes the fourth partner of the ONMT to open a direct international service to Dakhla, after Royal Air Maroc (RAM), Binter Canarias and Transavia.
In a statement to the press, the president of the Oued Eddahab Provincial Tourism Council, Othmane Aâmar, indicated that the launch of this new service will strengthen air connectivity to the city of Dakhla, which is experiencing remarkable development in the tourism sector.
For his part, the president of the Regional Tourism Council, Ahmed Abdellaoui, stressed that the launch of this air route connecting Dakhla to Madrid will highlight the region's tourism potential and attract significant foreign investment.
For their part, many Moroccans residing abroad expressed their joy at being able to visit Dakhla thanks to the inauguration of this new air route, highlighting the quality of the welcome and the tireless efforts made at Dakhla Airport in terms of comfort and fluidity.
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 offering to nearly 47,000 seats. They will also make Spain the primary issuing market to Dakhla, ahead of France.
It should be noted that air transport, a pillar of the 2023-2026 Tourism Roadmap and the resulting ONMT action plan "Light in Action", is being further strengthened to better promote Moroccan tourist destinations.
