Ryanair launch Liverpool to Marrakech flights

Liverpool has added a new destination to its growing list of flight destinations with the launch of Ryanair’s service to Marrakech.

Direct routes to the Moroccan city from Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA)began on Monday as part of a twice weekly service by the Irish airline giant.

The popular and exotic tourist destination will be accessible on Mondays and Fridays throughout the winter and next summer from the Speke terminal.

Mark Povall, LJLA’s Director of Air Service Development, said: “Today’s departure to Marrakech is the first flight from Liverpool to North Africa for some time and another new route by Ryanair from here.

“Just last month Ryanair announced further significant expansion of their business from Liverpool for Summer 2017 and we look forward to repeating celebrations like this for other new Ryanair destinations too.”

Ryanair’s maiden flights to Marrakech come just weeks after Blue Air announced new routes from LJLA to Rome, Milan and Hamburg.
