Ryanair and Morocco -strategic deal

The kingdom has ambitious plans to increase the number of tourists by 5 million over five years.
Clever move by Ryanair to clinch this deal and freeze some new air-routes by linking their bases to all province-airports in Morocco.

All ryanair bases are a real good guess.
But charleroi wont be ready before new terminal, in july 2007

As some of the new touristic projects in Morroco have belgium interests, I suppose CRL wiil be soon in flights FR network to Morroco

There are two kinds of customers who want to fly Belgium - Morocco :

- the tourists, whose number the Moroccan government want to increase, but is not so high at present (less than for Tunisia or even for Egypt, I think).

- and the Moroccans living in Belgium who go to Morocco on holiday.
To go there by air is much faster than with a car or by coach; but they usually take a lot of heavy luggage with them, which will cost them much more, with Ryanair...

A third one will come soon the belgium people having a house/flat in Morroco and this kind of travellers is 100% in ryanair scope, exactly as flights from UK to Perigord in France which are nearly "domestic flights

" for english people living in France, pax are most of the time 75% and more english, have aa look on routes map !!! http://www.bergerac.aeroport.fr/index.php

Rabat and Casablanca dont apply the incentives, intending to encourage the increase of the frequencies and I dont think that ryanair will use these expensive airports

Rabat est pas mal situé -aussi pour aller vers Casablanca.
le train prends 40 minutes pour relié Rabat avec le centre de
Casablanca.(Gare maritime..)
En plus,Rabat est une ville agréable et "normale" -c.a.d. sans les excéss d'une ville hyper-touristique comme Marrakech,ou l'arnaque est présent du matin au soir...
