Jet2 have today announced a brand new route from Glasgow Airport.
For the first time, travellers will be able to fly from Glasgow Airport to two destinations in Morocco, Agadir and Marrakech.
Both of these flights will be exclusive routes from Glasgow Airport.
There will be up to three weekly flights to Morocco from the airport, commencing from October 2024.
Those travelling to Marrakech, will be able to enjoy 'bright-blue and canary-yellow ceramics dotted between famous terracotta stonework' as well as markets and nightlife atmosphere.
Agadir will offer Glaswegians sand, surf, souks, minarets and tea cafes, as well as a venture to the laidback fishing village of Taghazout or the traditional Immi Ouaddar.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays said: “We are thrilled to be giving customers and independent travel agents even more choice from Glasgow Airport thanks to the launch of Morocco as a brand-new destination.
"With year-round availability to the magical destination of Agadir, as well as an exclusive route to Marrakech, we are giving holidaymakers access to two famous holiday hotspots.
"We are incredibly excited about these new destinations, and we know how immensely popular they will be with our customers.
"This latest expansion demonstrates the strength of our growing business, and it comes on the back of customers and independent travel agents across the region choosing to travel with us time and time again.
"Our award-winning proposition clearly continues to delight holidaymakers and we look forward to welcoming even more customers onboard thanks to the launch of these two brand-new destinations.”
Christopher Tibbett, Head of Airline Relations and Marketing for Glasgow Airport, added: “We are thrilled to welcome this duo of destinations in Morocco and excited to see Jet2.com and Jet2holidays continue to grow their wide range of beach and city choices from Glasgow Airport.
“Near the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, Agadir will promise holidaymakers glorious year-round sunshine, whilst wandering through the spice markets of Marrakech’s souks will offer a truly unique city-break experience for our passengers."
