The flights for this route are already on sale and cost from £36.99.
And then there will also be a new route between Birmingham and Agadir, with flights coming on sale this spring.

What to do there
Marrakech is known as the ‘Red City’ thanks to its iron-rich coloured buildings and is home to bustling souks and palaces.
For example, you could head to Bahia Palace, which is a 19th-century building with 160 rooms and beautiful mosaics.
Make sure to see the courtyard which spans across 1,500-square-metres and is paved with Italian Carrara marble.
Jemaa el-Fnaa is then the main square in the city and during the day boasts a market.
From the square, you can also venture to Souk Cherratine known for leather goods and Souk Haddadine, home to a number of blacksmiths.
If you fancy a bit of an adventure, head to Agafay Desert which is about 45 minutes away.
It is a top spot for seeing an orange-glowing sunset and going on quad-biking adventures.
When visiting the city, make sure to stay in a riad, which is a traditional courtyard house that has been converted into a boutique hotel in Morocco.
Lisa Minot, The Sun’s Head of Travel, has visited the city and said: “Tourism is booming in the city and while the streets are as colourful and chaotic as ever, the influx of visitors has brought some gorgeous new bars, restaurants and stunning hotels.”
Marrakech will reach temperatures of up to 35C next week.
On the other hand, if you fancy visiting Agadir, you can explore a six-mile beach.
Deputy Travel Editor Kara Godfrey said: “At Taghazout Beach, hordes of eager surfers took to the sea before I’d even finished my morning coffee.
“As a novice surfer, I opted to watch those riding the waves, while my companion made friends with the stray dogs and hawkers selling Moroccan breads.”
After a stroll along the beach, make sure to visit Souk El Had, which is one of North Africa’s largest markets with over 6,000 stalls.
And over at the Medina, you will find a number of artisan workshops selling traditional Moroccan items including colourful carpets and pottery.
Last month the destination was named the most affordable break for this summer.

News of the new routes comes as the airline officially launched a new permanent three-aircraft base in Marrakech this week.
It marks the airline’s first-ever base in Africa and has created 100 new jobs.
Kenton Jarvis, CEO of easyJet, commented: “We couldn’t be happier to launch our base in Morocco for our 20th year of operations in the country and to mark the milestone of 20 million passengers flown over that time.
“This is a milestone for our development in the region, providing more travel opportunities than ever before for our airline and holidays customers, while contributing to the local economy through tourism and the jobs we are creating.”
