In a bold move that promises to captivate wanderlust-fueled souls, Icelandic low-cost carrier Play has unveiled an audacious plan to inaugurate the first-ever direct flights from Reykjavik to the enchanting city of Marrakech. This pioneering endeavor, set to take flight in October, is poised to forge an unprecedented aerial bridge between the rugged splendor of Iceland and the mesmerizing charm of Morocco's iconic destination.
With an unwavering commitment to offering affordable travel experiences, Play Airlines is gearing up to operate two weekly flights between Keflavik International Airport and Marrakech Menara Airport, ensuring a seamless journey for intrepid explorers seeking to immerse themselves in the vibrant tapestry of Moroccan culture.
Birgir Jonsson, Play's Chief Executive Officer, exuded palpable enthusiasm as he unveiled this ambitious venture, saying, "Marrakech is a magical city that is rich with history and culture. Everywhere we go, we give the competition a run for their money. We aim to make travel more affordable, and I am confident that our Marrakech services will be well-received by people who want to visit our beautiful country of Iceland."
This strategic move is the result of a collaborative effort between Play and the Moroccan National Tourist Office, with the shared goal of enhancing accessibility for North American and European travelers seeking to unravel the enigmatic charms of Marrakech. Leveraging Iceland's strategic position as a transatlantic hub, Play aims to offer a seamless gateway to this captivating Moroccan jewel.
The maiden voyage from Keflavik to Marrakech is slated for October 17th, with flights scheduled for Thursdays and Sundays, catering to the wanderlust of adventure-seekers and cultural connoisseurs alike. Ticket sales for this highly anticipated route have already commenced on Play's website, igniting the dreams of those yearning to experience the enchantment of Marrakech's labyrinthine souks, vibrant spice markets, and awe-inspiring architectural marvels.
In addition to this groundbreaking Marrakech connection, Play has further broadened its horizons by unveiling plans for an additional route to Madeira, Iceland, expanding its product offerings and solidifying its position as a formidable contender in the ever-evolving aviation landscape.
As Morocco gears up to co-host the prestigious 2030 FIFA World Cup, the surge in airlines expanding their operations within the country is a testament to the burgeoning demand for air travel. Acclaimed carriers like Irish low-cost giant Ryanair have already ventured into the Moroccan market, offering flights to captivating destinations such as Fes, Agadir, and Ouarzazate, further solidifying Morocco's allure as a travel hotspot.
With its daring spirit and commitment to accessibility, Play Airlines' foray into Marrakech is poised to etch an indelible mark on the annals of aviation history, beckoning adventurers to embark on an unforgettable journey that intertwines the rugged beauty of Iceland with the enchanting allure of Morocco's crown jewel.
