Air Arabia Maroc, the Kingdom's low-cost carrier, announced the launch of a new direct air route linking Tangier Ibn Battuta International Airport with Rotterdam The Hague Airport in the Netherlands, starting October 28 this month.
A press release published on the Air Arabia website stated that the new flights will operate between the two cities at a frequency of 3 flights per week, on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, using Airbus A320 aircraft.
The new route comes in response to growing demand for low-cost air travel between Morocco and the Netherlands, and is part of the strategic approach adopted by Air Arabia Maroc to support passenger traffic and enhance economic, tourism and cultural exchange between the two countries.
According to the announced schedule, the company will operate 3 weekly flights as follows, with all times local:

This step comes as part of the company's efforts to strengthen its network of European destinations and meet growing demand from the Moroccan community living in the Netherlands, as well as from tourism and business travelers.
Tangier is one of Morocco's most prominent destinations, thanks to its geographic location where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, and it features historical and cultural attractions such as the old medina, long stretches of beach and a variety of cultural activities.
Rotterdam, on the other hand, is known for its contemporary character and modern architecture, as well as its cultural institutions and major museums. The direct air route between the two cities is expected to help strengthen connectivity and tourism and economic exchange between Morocco and the Netherlands.
The operation of these flights is part of Air Arabia Maroc's efforts to expand its network of destinations, placing Tangier in an advanced position on the map of air connectivity between Morocco and Europe. The new route is also expected to help facilitate travel for the Moroccan community living in the Netherlands, in addition to those traveling for business, study and tourism.
According to the company, flights between Tangier and Rotterdam can be booked through the usual official channels, including the website airarabia.com, the mobile app, call centers and authorized travel agencies.
