The airline announced it will be adding a new four-per-week service from Terminal 5 to the Moroccan holiday hotspot from October 28. During the winter season customers will be able to fly direct from British Airways’ London-hub, with services taking off on Thursday, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays; offering holidaymakers the perfect excuse to escape for a sunshine weekend break.

“Marrakech is one of the key tourism destinations in North Africa, so we are excited to serve it from two of our London airports,” explained Sean Doyle, director, network and alliances, British Airways.

The airline already flies from Gatwick to Marrakech eight times a week with a number of different flight times allowing customers to choose a travel time that suits them best.
