Brussels South Charleroi Airport today announced its eighth new route for the coming winter season. As of October 28, Jetairfly will fly twice a week to the Moroccan imperial city of Fez.

Together, these three companies will carry 25,000 passengers on a monthly basis between the two countries.

Thanks to the new Jetairfly routes, the beautiful city of Fez will be directly accessible six times a week from the end of October. This is the very moment to (re-) discover the cradle of Moroccan civilization.
