With the resumption of the Austrian Airlines connection, the exotic destination of Marrakesh is within easy reach with direct flights from Vienna. Pleasant temperatures around 20° Celsius in October make the Moroccan metropolis an ideal weekend-getaway in autumn.

„Marrakesh perfectly rounds down our portfolio of holiday destinations on short and medium – haul flights and offers our guests a well-earned timeout during winter months.We are continuously expanding our network and thus strengthen Austrian Airlines‘ function as a red-white-red flag- carrier at Vienna Airport”, says Austrian Airlines CCO Michael Trestl.
