Ryanair launches North African service at Liverpool John Lennon

Ryanair has launched its first ever flights between Liverpool and Morocco.

The first passengers departed today (October 31) on the European airline’s new twice-weekly service between Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) and Marrakech.

The city known for its ‘souks’ – marketplaces strewn across a labyrinthine network of narrow alleyways – is now just three hours 40 minutes away direct from Merseyside.

Marrakech is the latest cultural hotspot to be served from Liverpool, with flights to more than 60 destinations across the UK and Europe now available from LJLA.

Mark Povall, the airport’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 flights to Marrakech depart on Mondays and Fridays.
