"Canada, and more specifically Quebec, is a market of major importance for Morocco," says Adel El Fakir, CEO of the Moroccan National Tourism Office.
"The Montreal-Marrakech with our partner Air Transat is the first non-stop connection to Marrakech from North America. It will open up a wide range of possibilities for all travellers, both in the ochre city and also providing access to the seaside resorts of Essaouira, Agadir, Taghazout, and tours in the southern part of Morocco."
Flights will be operated with Air Transat's new-generation Airbus A321LR aircraft.
