Etihad Airways recently increased its presence in Morocco with launch of a new twice-weekly service between Abu Dhabi and Rabat.
The new service is scheduled to start on 15 January 2016. The service will be operated on Wednesdays and Fridays using an A340-500 aircraft configured to carry a total of 240 passengers, with 12 in first class, 28 in business class, and 200 in economy class.
This brings to nearly 4,200 total number of seats available to passengers travelling on Etihad Airways’ services between UAE and Morocco each week.
James Hogan, Etihad Airways’ president and chief executive officer, said: “The new service provides passengers with more choice and two-way connectivity between Morocco and UAE. We remain committed to building sustainable ties in the North African region and deepening strong relationship between Morocco and UAE.”
Like the UAE, the Moroccan Government has made significant investments in development of its tourism industry. In 2010, the government launched its Vision 2020 which includes plans to make Morocco one of the top 20 tourist destinations in the world and double number of international arrivals into Morocco to 20 million per annum by 2020.
