The route will be operated by BA Euroflyer, a subsidiary of the British airline dedicated to short-haul flights from London Gatwick. Two weekly flights are scheduled: on Wednesdays (departure at 07:50, arrival at 12:05) and Sundays (departure at 07:10, arrival at 11:25). The introductory fare is set at £70 one-way, or approximately 950 dirhams including taxes.
With this new route, Rabat becomes the third Moroccan destination served by British Airways, alongside Marrakech and Agadir. It is a strong signal that confirms both the Kingdom’s growing appeal and the willingness of major international carriers to establish a lasting presence there.
For Karen Hilton, Managing Director of BA Euroflyer, Morocco is a safe bet. “With its year-round mild climate, the country offers an ideal off-season escape without the burden of a long-haul flight. The addition of Rabat now gives British travelers a chance to experience three complementary sides of Morocco.”
This new London–Rabat route comes in the context of booming air traffic to Morocco, driven by strategic partnerships between the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT) and major airlines. The most recent development came from Transavia, a subsidiary of the Air France–KLM group, which announced the launch of 14 new routes to Morocco from France in winter 2025, offering more than 130,000 additional seats.
Through such initiatives, Morocco is reinforcing its status as a preferred destination for European travelers, particularly from France and the UK. By diversifying its flight offerings, improving connectivity, and expanding its air network, the Kingdom is asserting its ambition to become a leading tourism hub in the southern Mediterranean.
