Birmingham Airport has welcomed Air Arabia Maroc - Morocco’s largest low-cost carrier to its existing 50 airlines. Air Arabia Maroc has operated its first direct service from Birmingham Airport to the Moroccan city of Agadir. To celebrate, an inaugural ceremony was held at the airport.

Passengers arriving on the 1120 hours flight, along with Birmingham Airport and Air Arabia Maroc employees, gathered to celebrate the service which operates on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Air Arabia Maroc is a great addition to our collection of airlines and we look forward to working with Air Arabia Maroc on this popular destination of Morocco.”
