Essaouira connected directly to Paris, Lyon, Nantes as of next Spring

Three direct flights to Essaouira from Paris, Lyon, and Nantes will be launched as of April, with two to three weekly flights for each destination.

Ryanair will kick off the Paris-Beauvais to Essaouira route in April, responding to growing demand for the city, as confirmed by the management of Essaouira-Mogador Airport.

In May, EasyJet will resume flights between Lyon Saint-Exupéry and Essaouira, reviving a route suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In July, Transavia will launch a connection between Nantes and Essaouira, improving access for visitors from western France to la Cité des Alizés.

“These new routes are part of a broader strategy to boost Essaouira’s tourism appeal and improve connectivity with key French cities,” Abdelmounaim Aoutoul, the airport’s manager said.

Aoutoul noted that the flights support promotional efforts for the city, which welcomed over a million visitors in 2024.

Essaouira-Mogador Airport recorded a passenger traffic increase of nearly 30% in the first nine months of 2024, with 171,892 travelers compared to 132,553 in 2023.

The airport provides direct connections to major European cities and domestic destinations, including Tangier.

Renowned for its efficiency and traveler-friendly environment, the airport offers quick and smooth check-in and security procedures, enhancing the overall passenger experience.
