Moroccan flag carrier and Oneworld alliance member, Royal Air Maroc, is set to launch a new direct service from London Stansted to Casablanca this summer.

Starting on June 24, flights will operate three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays using a Boeing 737-800 with a flight time of around 3 hours and 20 minutes.

The service is designed to cater to both business and leisure travellers, offering them a convenient way to explore Morocco’s largest city while also providing connections onto Royal Air Maroc’s extensive network across Africa.

Casablanca, famous from the classic 1942 film starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, continues to charm visitors with its mix of old traditions and modern life. From the magnificent Hassan II Mosque – one of the largest in the world – to the romantic Corniche waterfront and maze-like medina, Casablanca showcases Morocco’s rich heritage.

Ciaran Brannigan, London Stansted’s Commercial Director, said: “Of all the airports in all the towns in all the world, Royal Air Maroc chose London Stansted for its new direct service to Casablanca, a decision we are truly delighted about. Casablanca is an iconic destination, and we are confident this new route will be the beginning of beautiful friendship between Royal Air Maroc and London Stansted.”

Zoubida Smahi, Royal Air Maroc’s UK General Manager, said: “We look forward to welcoming passengers aboard and to further strengthening our presence in the UK and beyond.”

London Stansted serves more European destinations than any other UK airport, and this new service will further strengthen its route network, which now covers almost 200 destinations across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
