Passengers from Essex will be able to travel to Casablanca from their doorstep starting this summer.
Royal Air Maroc is set to launch a new direct service from London Stansted to Morocco’s largest city.
The service will cater to both business and leisure travellers offering flights 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.
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.
“This service will provide our passengers with more choice and convenience when traveling to North Africa, whether for business, leisure, or connecting onto the airline’s broader route network.
“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.”
The iconic city, which is known for the 1942 classic starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, offers a mix of traditions and modern life.
Zoubida Smahi, Royal Air Maroc’s UK General Manager, said: “We are thrilled to offer our passengers a direct link between London Stansted and Casablanca, one of the most vibrant and culturally rich cities in Morocco.
“This new service reflects our commitment to providing convenient and accessible travel options for both business and leisure travellers, while also connecting them to our extensive network across Africa.
“We look forward to welcoming passengers aboard and to further strengthening our presence in the UK and beyond.”
London Stansted serves almost 200 destinations across Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, with the latest service adding to the variety of destinations.
Flights will take off starting June 24.
