Hi fuzzbear,

Do you know when this airport is going to be ready? From what I understand, until this airport starts operation, there will no flights to saidia. That potentially means no tourism. Sure, you can cross over from spain, but once you are in spain, why would you want to cross over to saidia - might as well enjoy spain!?

Anyway, digressing from the original point - until the airport is operational, would saidia not just be another ghost town? The only way to fly into saidia right now from the uk is by changing flights - is that correct? For example, heathrow -> casablanca -> oujda

But countries like france and belgium seem to have direct flights. Ryanair and easyjet have not yet announced any plans to fly to oujda - possibly becaue of the lack of infrastructure.

So, the reason for all this rant is - does it still make saidia a good place to invest? may be other resorts / regions could offer better returns quicker?
