The airline’s growth in Morocco also has a positive impact on easyJet holidays’ proposition, as Morocco continues to be one of the fastest-growing markets for package holidays. In Marrakech, easyJet holidays offers more than 70 hotels from three to five stars, including a selection of hand-picked luxury hotels for its “Luxury Collection,” launched in October 2025 in the United Kingdom, with the first customers travelling in April 2026.
