New flights between Marrakesh and southern Spain

A Spanish airliner will service two new weekly air flights between the two Spanish southern cities of Granada and Malaga and Marrakesh, Morocco.

The Granada-Marrakesh flight will take place on Fridays and the Malaga-Marrakesh flight on Sundays, a statement by the airliner "Binter," an affiliate of the Iberia group, said.

The statement said the two additional flights will alleviate the pressure on the Madrid-Tangier and Madrid-Casablanca lines.In 1999, some 260,000 Spanish tourists visited Morocco, recording a 13% increase compared to 1998.
