Rabat – Spanish airline Binter on Friday announced the launch of a Canary islands-Guelmim route as part of plans to expand into Africa.

As Morocco reopened, international airlines have reconnected numerous destinations worldwide to Morocco, leading to a gradual return to pre-COVID-19 levels.
In February, Moroccan airports welcomed just over 660,000 people on board 6,000 flights, connecting Morocco to Europe (64%), the Middle East (13%), the rest of Africa (13%), and North America (6%).
The statistics include special flights organized by Royal Air Maroc to repatriate Moroccan nationals following the escalation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
On February 24, Ukraine closed its airspace to commercial flights, forcing Moroccans living and studying in the conflict zone to flee to Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, and Poland.
