In the weekend of the 24th of April Amsterdam Airlines landed for the first time at the Moroccan airports of Nador and Tanger. At Tanger our flight was awaited by the Dutch Ambassador and the local and airport authorities. This first landing marks the start of a regular/scheduled service of Amsterdam Airlines and its General Sales Agent ML Tours to Morocco. This year ML Tours (www.flyml.nl) started to sell tickets to Nador and Tanger, Morocco. Amsterdam Airlines, in close cooperation with ML Tours, performed the first flight in the weekend of the 24th of April. Together with a number of guests, more then 100 passengers were flown into Morocco. Upon arrival the accompanying Amsterdam Airlines board members, agents, and members of the press were awaited by the Dutch Ambassador, mr. J. van Aggelen. Mr. van Aggelen indicated that he was very happy that Amsterdam Airlines is now also flying to Morocco, especially in the year that Morocco and the Netherlands celebrate 400 years of economic relationship. Many( Dutch aviation) sites picked up on this news. For instance, see luchtvaarfoto.nl for a bunch of wonderful pictures of our first landing in Morocco. |
