Smartwings, a Czech low-cost airline, has announced a unique one-time charter flight between Akureyri, Iceland, and Marrakech, Morocco, scheduled for October 17, Travel and World Tour reported. The return flight is planned for four days later, on October 21.
This unique flight offers travelers from Iceland a rare opportunity to explore the vibrant culture and warmth of Marrakech by taking a direct, almost 7-hour flight aboard a modern Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. This opportunity reflects a broader trend of airlines catering to rising demand for more diverse travel experiences.
As interest in Morocco grows globally, destinations such as Marrakech are becoming increasingly popular among European travelers. Known for its rich history, colorful souks, and architectural wonders, the sunny ochre city offers visitors from Iceland a stark contrast to their northern homeland.
Morocco is strengthening its position as a gateway to African tourism, offering visitors easy access to both its coastal and desert landscapes.
With this one-time charter, tourists from Iceland who typically undergo long journeys through major European hubs, such as London or Paris, will now have a direct link to the heart of Morocco for the first time. And perhaps it won’t be the last.
