The new Casablanca Los Angeles direct flight will operate three times a week, utilizing state-of-the-art wide-body aircraft on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Departures from Casablanca are scheduled for 04:00, arriving in Los Angeles at 08:20 local time. Return flights will depart California at 10:20, landing back in Casablanca the following day at 05:25.

This expansion is an integral part of the national airline’s development strategy, established through an agreement with the government in July 2023. Its primary objective is to solidify Casablanca’s position as a premier aviation hub, linking Africa, Europe, and the Americas, while simultaneously catering to the strong demand from the Moroccan diaspora, tourists, business travelers, and football enthusiasts.

With this latest launch, Royal Air Maroc reinforces its strong foothold in North America, complementing its existing direct services to New York, Washington, Miami, Montreal, and Toronto.
