Rabat – Morocco’s national carrier Royal Air Maroc (RAM) has added a new direct flight route between London Stansted Airport and Casablanca, marking its first-ever service from this London hub.
The new route began operations on June 24, 2025, and runs three times a week—on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays—using a Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The flight lasts just over three hours.
This addition expands the airline’s UK operations beyond its existing services from Heathrow, Gatwick, and Manchester. London Stansted is the UK’s third-busiest airport and serves a large population in North and east London as well as surrounding regions, making it a strategic choice for Royal Air Maroc as it seeks to increase accessibility for Moroccan nationals, tourists, and business travelers.
Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city and commercial center, serves as a major hub for both connecting flights within Africa and direct access to the country’s economic and cultural offerings.
This launch comes amid Royal Air Maroc’s record breaking summer 2025 program, with over 6.6 million seats offered across 95 destinations–an increase of more than 700,000 compared to last year–as Morocco steps up efforts to boost air links with key European markets
In 2020, Royal Air Maroc became the first African airline to join the OneWorld alliance, linking Morocco to a global network of major carriers including British Airways, American Airlines, and Qatar Airways. The move integrated RAM into shared booking and loyalty systems, while reinforcing its role as a key regional hub.
