Ryanair has officially opened its new base in Tangier, having commenced based operations from May.
This announcement represents Ryanair’s fourth base in Morocco, with two based aircraft and 25 routes, including 13 new routes connecting Tangier with eight new European cities and five new Moroccan destinations for Summer 2024.
Ryanair airline CEO Eddie Wilson said: “We are delighted to officially launch our new base at Tangier, which represents a $200 million investment and our fourth Moroccan base. This latest base opening is part of our record S24 schedule which will see Ryanair operate over 170 routes across the Kingdom, boosting tourism and connectivity.
“Our latest base opening takes Ryanair’s total investment in Morocco to over $1.4bn, supporting over 5,000 direct and indirect jobs and delivering growth in the local tourism economy.
“We look forward to continuing to support Morocco’s economy, as well as regional and international connectivity, by positioning Tangier as a leading summer destination with its museums, medina, souq, and, of course, its beautiful beaches.”
