easyJet Announces New Birmingham to Agadir Route for Winter 2026
easyJet has officially unveiled a new direct flight route from Birmingham Airport to the Moroccan coastal city of Agadir, promising travellers year-round sunshine and remarkably affordable local beers priced from just £2.50. The airline confirmed that both flight seats and comprehensive package holidays will become available for booking later this month, with services scheduled to commence this winter season.
Package Details and Destination Highlights
All holiday packages will include return flights, hotel accommodation, a generous 23kg luggage allowance, and convenient airport transfers. Agadir, situated on Morocco's picturesque western coast near the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, boasts a population exceeding 500,000 residents and offers a warm escape from the UK's typically damp and chilly winter weather.
January temperatures in Agadir frequently reach a pleasant 22°C to 25°C, providing an ideal climate for beach relaxation and outdoor exploration. The city is approximately a five-hour drive from Morocco's bustling capital, Casablanca, making it an accessible gateway to the country's diverse attractions.
Affordable Local Beverages and Expanded Fleet
One of the standout features for British tourists is the remarkably low cost of local beer in Agadir, with small bottles of domestic brew typically priced between 25 to 35 Moroccan Dirhams – equivalent to just £1.90 to £2.70. This affordability adds significant value to holiday budgets, allowing visitors to enjoy the local culture without excessive spending.
In related developments, easyJet will further strengthen its presence at Birmingham Airport next month by introducing a sixth A320 family aircraft to its local fleet. This expansion will enable the airline to offer customers even greater choice and flexibility for flights and holidays across Europe and beyond, capitalizing on growing demand for both leisure and business travel.
Executive Statements on the New Service
Kevin Doyle, easyJet's UK Country Manager, expressed enthusiasm about the new route, stating: "We are delighted to announce a new service from Birmingham to Agadir, providing our customers in the Midlands with another connection to Morocco at great value fares. Our continued success in the region clearly demonstrates the popularity of our flights and holidays, and the addition of another aircraft in Birmingham this summer will further unlock opportunities to meet the robust demand we are observing."
Al Titterington, Terminal Operations Director at Birmingham Airport, added: "We're delighted that easyJet will be operating a direct service to Agadir, Morocco. This popular Moroccan destination for winter 2026 offers increased frequency and greater choice, providing travellers from the Midlands with enhanced flexibility on a much-loved route."
The announcement reinforces Birmingham Airport's growing status as a key regional hub for international travel, while offering Midlands residents convenient access to Morocco's sunny shores and cultural experiences at competitive prices.
