Are you sure about this? If it's true it's WONDERFUL news for me. There used to be a daily flight between Tangier and Madrid but not for the past year or so. :-( 25 euro is even cheaper than the ferry. Woohooo! You made my day! If that's true I will be saving a lot of money and time. :-) *doing the happy dance*

Budget airline Easy-Jet have just announced that they intend to open a link between Madrid and Tangiers starting in early February 2008.
Initially there will be six weekly flights growing to daily flights during the summer holidays period. One of the target markets will be the thousands of Moroccans who return from Europe every summer.
25 Euro for a one-way trip should allow the company to position itself as a leader in the market with more than 600,000 Moroccan nationals living in Spain.
The British company has been operating for nine months between Madrid and the Moroccan cities of Casablanca and Marrakech.
In a media statement, the company explained that its decision is in line with the Moroccan choice to position Tangier as "one of the major tourist cities in North Africa".
EasyJet has become the main airline flying to Marrakech with 38% of the market share, ahead of the Moroccan company Royal Air-Maroc (25%) and Spanish company Iberia (24%).
As of February 2007, EasyJet conveyed 56,941 passengers between these two cities.
