Iberia Express, the low-cost carrier and subsidiary of Spanish airline Iberia, has announced the launch of a new route connecting Madrid and Marrakech.
The flights are scheduled to commence on October 29, which would offer travelers trips at a more competitive price, the company says in a statement.
The newly unveiled service will feature two daily flights throughout the week, as confirmed, the statement explains.
The frequent schedule aims to cater to a wide range of travelers, including tourists and business professionals.
According to the company, the decision to launch this route aligns with Iberia Express’s strategic plan to bolster its international presence.
Iberia Express is set to serve a total of 22 destinations during the upcoming winter season of 2023-2024.
Based in Madrid, the airline focuses on short and medium-haul routes. The routes complement the long-haul network of its parent company, Iberia, and cater to the growing demand for affordable air travel.
The company currently operates a fleet consisting of 23 modern aircraft and connects passengers to more than 40 domestic and international destinations.
The increased number of flights to Marrakech, Morocco’s world-class tourism hub, is set to boost the city’s appeal to tourists from Europe as flight prices become more competitive.
This year, Morocco’s southern perl saw a remarkable increase in the number of tourists. According to data from Marrakech’s Regional Tourism Delegation, the influx of tourists rose by 63% at the end of the first five months of this year compared to 2019.
