This new service, operating once weekly every Saturday, strengthens Essaouira’s connectivity and consolidates its position on the international tourism map. On this occasion, a ceremony was held at the airport in the presence of local officials, tourism operators, and representatives from Vueling, who gathered to celebrate this new connection, reflecting the growing interest of European travelers in the “Pearl of the Atlantic.” In a statement to MAP, the President of the Provincial Tourism Council, Redouane Khane, welcomed the launch, noting that it is the first direct connection between Essaouira and Seville. “This route represents a major opportunity for the Andalusian market, historically close to our region, and will help diversify the tourist clientele while enhancing Essaouira’s visibility by 2026,” he said. Khane also expressed his gratitude to the institutional and private partners who contributed to making this new route a reality, particularly praising the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT) for its “tireless efforts” in promoting Essaouira as a destination. Several passengers, approached by MAP, also expressed their satisfaction with the opening of this direct route, highlighting the time savings, convenience, and accessibility it provides between the two shores. This inauguration comes amid a significant increase in traffic at Essaouira-Mogador Airport, which recorded a 48.62% rise in passenger numbers in September, welcoming 29,410 travelers compared to 19,789 during the same period in 2024. According to the airport’s management, aircraft movements also grew substantially by 53.52%, rising from 142 to 218 flights (including arrivals and departures). With this new connection, Essaouira-Mogador Airport is now linked to around ten international destinations, mostly in Europe, including Paris, London, Brussels, Marseille, Bordeaux, Lyon, Düsseldorf, Madrid, and now Seville, in addition to a regular domestic route connecting it with Rabat.
