GB Airways intensifies Morocco flight competition
GB Airways is to run its largest flight schedule to Morocco this winter.
Two flights a day from Heathrow to Marrakech will be added in addition to a daily service from Gatwick.
The airline will also serve Fez twice a week from Heathrow in addition to daily flights to Casablanca.
Twice weekly flights to the resort of Agadir will continue to operate from Gatwick.
One-way flights from Gatwick to Marrakech start at £49 including taxes, fees and charges.
The expansion by GB Airways comes as budget carriers Ryanair and easyJet plan a major assault on Morocco with a range of new services.
GB Airways managing director Kevin Hatton said: “We are pleased to announce the substantial flight increase to Morocco from the UK this winter, especially the launch of a twice daily service to Marrakech from Heathrow.
“With a total of 32 weekly flights to Morocco, passengers can now travel at their convenience to some of the most popular short-haul winter sun destinations. “
