Passengers can now fly direct to Casablanca in Morocco from Manchester Airport with Royal Air Maroc.

The returning route adds to over 200 available from the Northern Hub and is on top of existing services to Marrakech, meaning travellers have added choice when it comes to exploring the West African country.

Casablanca is also an ideal gateway for further exploration of sub-Saharan Africa, opening up a host of opportunities for travellers from the North.

It is the first time before the pandemic that passengers from the region will be able to fly directly to Casablanca. The flights will operate three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday and will take round 3h 30m on a Boeing 737-800 aircraft.

Casablanca is a diverse city known for art deco architecture, Moroccan and international cuisine at gourmet restaurants, excellent shopping and sea views.
