Jet2.com and Jet2holidays waved their first flights off to Morocco, with the UK’s largest tour operator welcoming the new destination as a fantastic escape from the gloomy UK weather.

The companies marked the start of flights and holidays to the coastal resort of Agadir, with busy flights taking off to the Moroccan sunshine from four UK airports - Birmingham, Leeds Bradford, London Stansted and Manchester. Services to Agadir will also be launching over the next few weeks from Bristol (Sunday 6th October) and Glasgow (Sunday 3rd November).

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays will be expanding their operations to Morocco even further from tomorrow (Friday 4th October), when their new flights and holidays programmes start operating to Marrakech from Birmingham, Manchester and London Stansted. The companies will also launch their Marrakech programme from Glasgow on Monday 4th November.

These new flights mark the start of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays giving customers a taste of Morocco, with year-round routes to the North African destination available from six UK airports on sale, giving customers and independent travel agents great choice in Winter 24/25, Summer 25 and Winter 25/26.

This programme will increase to eight UK airports for Summer 26, as the recent announcement of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays’ biggest ever programme for Summer 26 saw the addition of weekly flights to Agadir from East Midlands and Newcastle Airports, offering even more choice and flexibility when it comes to booking and travelling to Morocco.

This new programme of flights and holidays to Morocco has been launched in response to demand from customers and independent travel agents who are seeking new cultural destinations as well as guaranteed sunshine.  

Agadir is dotted with a choice of hotels, waterparks and incredible bars and restaurants. Its 9km-long stretch of golden sand sparkles along the country’s West coast, ideal for days spent lazing by the Atlantic. For a culture fix, holidaymakers can discover Agadir’s souks, minarets and tea cafes, as well as venturing to the laidback fishing village of Taghazout.

Customers heading to Marrakech can soak up the buzz of the city or relax in its enticing suburbs.  Sightseers and sun-seekers will fall in love with Marrakech’s labyrinth streets winding between iconic terracotta architecture. The city’s electric atmosphere comes to life at night as locals and tourists alike wander through the world-famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square, presenting a cultural experience like no other.

As well as offering award-winning flights to both Agadir and Marrakech with Jet2.com, customers and independent travel agents can also choose from an ATOL-protected package holiday with Jet2holidays or stay right in the heart of Marrakech with Jet2CityBreaks to explore Morocco’s ‘Red City’.
