Ryanair is launching a twice-weekly service from Manchester airport to Rabat at the end of this month.
Flights from Manchester to Rabat-Salé airport will run on Wednesdays and Sundays, starting on Sunday, March 30, from £14.99 each way.
Rabat is currently only served by Stansted.
The Moroccan capital will become the fifth city in the country served by Manchester, joining Tangier, Casablanca, Marrakesh and Agadir.
Nearly half a million passengers flew to Morocco from Manchester in 2024, up from 275,000 in 2023 and about 260,000 in 2019, according to a spokesperson for the airport.
They added: “The North African country’s growing appeal is driven by its reliable year-round sunshine, wonderful beaches and the opportunity for visitors to throw themselves into a different culture – and all at a very reasonable price.
“Rabat offers visitors a bit of everything – from beaches and scenic spots to great food, grand architecture and a long and fascinating history.”
