Qatar Enhances North African Capacity

According to breakingnewstravel, Qatar Airways has announced an increase in capacity between Qatar and North Africa with its flights to Tripoli, Libya, and Casablanca, Morocco going non-stop.
Scheduled services to the Libyan capital Tripoli will be de-linked from the Egyptian city of Alexandria, offering additional seats to both cities. On the same day Casablanca will have direct non-stop services from the airline’s Doha hub.
Currently the route is served via the Tunisian capital of Tunis. With the de-linking and re-introduction of non-stop flights, Qatar Airways is giving passengers travelling to the four North African cities more choice and flexibility when planning their travels.
 Passengers from the Asia Pacific, South Asia and Middle East can now take advantage of a seamless one-stop connection to Tripoli and Casablanca via Doha.

Etihad Increases Service

Etihad Airways will increase its services to Casablanca, to provide daily flights from 28 March, 2013. Etihad currently flies five times a week between Abu Dhabi and Casablanca, and in June celebrated the seventh anniversary of operations to the Moroccan capital.
The daily service will support traffic growth between Abu Dhabi and Casablanca, and connecting traffic to many popular onward destinations, including Jeddah, and a choice of Asian cities such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Manila, and Sydney in Australia.
The additional services will improve the connectivity in Abu Dhabi by 50%. The daily service will also strengthen connectivity with codeshare partner, Royal Air Maroc, allowing Etihad Airways passengers more choice to connect to domestic Moroccan destinations and other points in West Africa.
