EasyJet Expands Operations in Africa
In a significant milestone for both EasyJet and African aviation, the low-cost airline has officially opened its first operational base on the continent at Marrakech Menara Airport. This strategic move, announced during a partnership ceremony in November 2025 with the Moroccan National Tourism Office (ONMT), coincides with the airline's celebration of two decades of service in Morocco. The establishment of this base is poised to enhance air connectivity within the region and bolster Morocco's tourism sector.
As EasyJet embarks on this new chapter, it aims to not only expand its market presence but also contribute to the local economy by increasing travel options for both international tourists and Moroccan nationals. The launch of this base in Marrakech is expected to pave the way for more direct flights, making it easier for travelers to access various destinations across Europe and beyond, thus promoting a vibrant exchange of cultures and tourism.
Furthermore, EasyJet's investment in Marrakech aligns with Morocco's broader strategy to position itself as a premier travel destination in Africa. The collaboration with the ONMT is set to foster joint marketing efforts that will attract a greater influx of visitors to the country, showcasing its rich heritage, stunning landscapes, and hospitable culture.
