Royal Moroccan Gendarmerie Helicopters Land in Alicante

Royal Moroccan Gendarmerie's newly acquired helicopters made a stop at the Alicante-Elche airport Miguel Hernández.

The aircraft were spotted on the runway of the Alicante terminal, as part of their journey to Rabat.

The Moroccan security force acquired these helicopters, which, according to TodoAlicante, belonged to a Swiss air ambulance company.

Thus, on their way to their new mission, the two helicopters travelled across Spain, making stops in various cities.

One of these stops was in Reus, where they stayed overnight before continuing their delivery flight. After that, they landed at the Alicante-Elche airport Miguel Hernández.

Following their brief stay at the Alicante terminal, these Royal Moroccan Gendarmerie helicopters travelled to Málaga before reaching Rabat.

Several months ago, Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández airport had another curious visitor. It was the arrival of a Ryanair plane that featured a 'Business' class.

Nicknamed 'The Little One', it landed at the Alicante terminal on the same day three new routes were inaugurated, connecting the province with various destinations in Greece, Poland, and Austria.

This aircraft, the 737-700, is the smallest of the Next Generation series, being unique. Its first flight was in 1999, and since then, it has been operated by various companies.

One of its major milestones was with Ryanair, being the first aircraft of this airline to feature a 'business' class with 60 seats. However, it was retired in 2016 and returned to having 148 economy class seats.
