The new air route will ease travelers’ mobility between the two cities in a reduced travel time over a 521.7 kilometer distance – a journey that would usually take over five hours by car, but just over one by plane.
Starting tickets prices begin at MAD 350 ($ 34.81) to allow a larger number of passengers to discover this opportunity.
Air Arabia’s first flight’s landing at Oujda-Angads airport was inaugurated with a ceremony marking this new air route.
A statement from the company said that launching this new route reflects “the weight of this new link both for passengers and economic stakeholders in both regions.”
Citing both cities’ draws, including Rabat’s cosmopolitan experience and historical heritage as well as Oujda’s varied landscapes, medina, and traditional markets, the company said the new line will boost economic cooperation between the two cities.
The new flight is designated to “open new economic opportunities for both business travelers and tourists,” the statement noted, adding that it will “enhance economic and cultural ties between the two regions.”
Morocco has recently been working on diversifying direct flights between its 12 regions, reflecting its commitment to boosting the economy and tourism activity in the country.
