Moroccan national airline Royal Air Maroc will operate the service on Thursdays and Sundays. As one of the world’s shortest intercontinental flights, it will link the continents of Europe and Africa in just under 30 minutes. The two cities share a long history with transport links dating back to the 1930s, but have not had an air link since the 1990s. The service is part of a wider effort by the Gibraltar Government to promote the Rock’s tourism industry, financial services and commercial affairs in Morocco. Tourism minister Neil Costa said: ““Gibraltar has enjoyed strong links with Morocco for years and thanks to the Government of Gibraltar’s initiative to allow Moroccan nationals with Schengen visas to visit for a maximum of 21 days, this will allow the discovery of Gibraltar as a unique destination for shopping and leisure. “This service will also be conveniently timed so that passengers can connect from Casablanca with one-stop at Tangier, opening up Gibraltar to the largest city in Morocco.” Flights will be operated by Royal Air Maroc’s fleet of 70 seat ATR72 turboprop aircraft and offer both economy and business seating.
