A new carrier is now at Vienna Airport. Effective immediately, Air Arabia Maroc operates flights between Vienna and Marrakech. “Air Arabia Maroc is a new airline offering year-round flights to the oriental tourism destination.

The new route was officially opened yesterday evening by Vienna Airport and Air Arabia Maroc.
Marrakech is one of the four Moroccan royal cities. Austrian tourists like to fly to “The Red City” as a vacation destination throughout the entire year due to its warm temperatures.

Passenger volume from Vienna Airport to Africa rose 37% in the year 2017 and already more than 30% since the beginning of 2018. Marrakech is an attractive holiday destination, particularly in the cold season, and we expect further growth on this route”, says Julian Jäger, Joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport.
