Vols vers le Maroc

In This Article:

Morocco has firmly established itself as one of the Mediterranean region’s top destinations. In 2025, the Kingdom welcomed nearly 20 million visitors, setting a historic record. For 2026, ambitions are climbing even higher: the Moroccan government is targeting 17.5 million additional international tourists, with tourism revenue expected to exceed $12 billion. Against this backdrop of exceptional growth, air transport plays a central role, and both airport infrastructure and airlines are transforming rapidly to meet surging demand.

Whether you’re a regular traveler between Europe and Morocco, a first-time tourist discovering the Kingdom, or a business traveler on assignment, this comprehensive guide provides all the essential information you need about Morocco’s flights in 2026: airlines, airports, Royal Air Maroc and its new routes, and most importantly, how to stay connected to the internet throughout Morocco without the headaches.

A history dating back to 1953

Royal Air Maroc (RAM) was born in July 1953 from the merger of two pioneers of Moroccan aviation: Air Maroc and Air Atlas. Since its early domestic and regional flights, the national carrier has come a long way to establish itself today as Africa’s leading airline. It was also the first North African airline to operate transatlantic flights, launching service to Rio de Janeiro in 1975, followed by New York.

Today, Royal Air Maroc serves more than 100 destinations worldwide, with its main hub at Casablanca’s Mohammed V Airport, which serves as a connecting platform between Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, and the Americas.

A fleet in rapid expansion

As of November 2025, Royal Air Maroc operates a fleet of 55 aircraft, including Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 Dreamliners for long-haul routes and Boeing 737 MAX for mid-range flights. The airline signed an aircraft lease agreement with Avolon, a global aerospace financing giant, for six new Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft in late 2025, with the first two already delivered. These aircraft are primarily deployed on mid-range routes connecting Africa to Europe and the Middle East.

But Royal Air Maroc’s ambitions extend far beyond. Under a strategic plan covering 2023-2037, the airline aims to quadruple its fleet to reach 200 aircraft by 2037, enabling it to transport 31 to 32 million passengers annually to more than 130 destinations. To realize this vision, a tender was launched for the acquisition of 188 new aircraft from Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, and ATR. Two-thirds of these orders will be narrow-body aircraft, with the remainder being wide-body jets.

Hamid Addou, CEO of Royal Air Maroc, sums up this ambition succinctly: “Since 2023, we’ve taken delivery of around a dozen additional aircraft, increased frequencies to several key destinations, and launched nearly 20 new international routes. In 2026, we’re entering a new phase.”

Boeing 787 Dreamliners: long-haul comfort

For travelers flying from Europe or the Americas to Morocco, Royal Air Maroc’s Boeing 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft offer remarkable comfort. The 787-8 accommodates 274 passengers in a two-class configuration (18 business class and 256 economy), while the larger 787-9 can carry 302 passengers (24 business class and 278 economy). These aircraft have recently received renovated cabins meeting modern standards.

Royal Air Maroc's new routes in 2026

2026 marks a major milestone in Royal Air Maroc’s international expansion. The airline has announced the opening of at least ten new routes from Casablanca, as part of a strategy to make Mohammed V Airport a world-class hub.

Starting in January 2026, a new direct service between Casablanca and Saint Petersburg was launched, marking RAM’s return to the Russian market. In April 2026, five new destinations came online: Pointe-Noire in Congo, Tripoli in Libya, Beirut in Lebanon, and Bilbao and Alicante in Spain. The Spanish city of Palma de Mallorca joined the network in June, further strengthening an already robust Iberian presence (Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Valencia, and Seville were already served).

In Italy, a new direct route between Casablanca and Verona launched on June 20, 2026, joining seven existing connections to Rome, Milan, Bologna, Naples, Catania, Turin, and Venice. In France, the Casablanca-Lille route opened in July 2026, bringing to eleven the number of French cities with direct RAM service from Morocco.

Long-haul expansion is equally impressive: Royal Air Maroc confirmed the launch of direct service between Casablanca and Los Angeles starting June 7, 2026, operated three times weekly with Boeing 787 aircraft on a roughly 12-hour flight. Frequencies on routes to São Paulo, Miami, Washington, and Dubai have also been increased.

On the domestic network, RAM continues to connect Morocco’s major cities, with regular service between Casablanca, Marrakech, Agadir, Tangier, Fès, Oujda, Essaouira, Laayoune, Dakhla, and other cities. The Casablanca-Agadir and Casablanca-Marrakech routes rank among the network’s busiest domestic flights.

Royal Air Maroc isn’t alone in Morocco’s skies. Liberalization of Morocco’s air transport market, which began in the 2000s, opened the market to numerous European and international carriers, giving travelers a wide choice of direct flights from dozens of European cities.

Air Arabia Maroc: the national budget carrier

Based in Casablanca, Air Arabia Maroc is the country’s leading budget airline. A subsidiary of UAE-based Air Arabia, it offers direct flights from Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Strasbourg, Mulhouse, and many other French cities to Morocco’s main destinations. Its competitive fares make it a solid alternative to Royal Air Maroc for budget-conscious travelers.

Ryanair: the Irish giant with a strong presence in Morocco

Ryanair is one of the most active airlines on Europe-Morocco routes. From Paris-Beauvais and numerous regional airports in France, Belgium, Spain, and Portugal, Ryanair offers direct flights to Marrakech, Agadir, Fès, Rabat, Tangier, and other Moroccan cities. The Irish carrier often means the lowest fares, especially for bookings made several months in advance.

Transavia France: the perfect balance

Transavia, the budget subsidiary of the Air France-KLM group, is especially popular with French travelers. It operates from Paris-Orly, Lyon, Nantes, Marseille, Bordeaux, Rennes, and other cities to Marrakech, Agadir, Casablanca, Rabat, and Fès. Transavia offers a good balance between attractive prices and decent onboard service, including more transparent baggage policies than some competitors.

Air France, KLM, and Iberia: the legacy carriers

Air France maintains a significant presence with multiple daily flights from Paris-CDG and Paris-Orly to Casablanca and Marrakech, as well as connections to Tangier and Agadir. With its premium service and frequent flyer benefits, Air France remains a preferred choice for business travelers and those seeking a full-service experience.
KLM similarly operates regular service from Amsterdam to Morocco’s main airports, making it a convenient option for travelers from the Netherlands, Belgium, and Northern Europe. Iberia, Spain’s flagship carrier, connects Madrid, Barcelona, and other Spanish cities to Moroccan destinations, benefiting from Morocco’s geographic proximity to the Iberian Peninsula.

EasyJet: growing presence in the low-cost segment

EasyJet, the British budget airline, has significantly expanded its Morocco operations in recent years. From London, Paris, Milan, Berlin, and numerous other European cities, EasyJet offers competitive fares to Marrakech, Casablanca, Agadir, and other destinations, directly competing with Ryanair and Air Arabia Maroc.

Vueling: the Spanish low-cost alternative

Vueling, a Barcelona-based budget carrier, operates numerous routes to Morocco from Spanish airports (Barcelona, Madrid, Málaga, Valencia) and other European cities. The airline is known for reasonable fares and a slightly more comprehensive service offering than some ultra-low-cost competitors.

Air Corsica and other regional carriers

Air Corsica connects Corsica and other French destinations to Morocco. Additionally, various smaller European carriers and charter airlines periodically serve Morocco, particularly during peak tourist seasons, offering additional flight options and competitive pricing on select routes.

Morocco has an airport network managed by Airports of Morocco (formerly ONDA — National Airports Office, renamed in 2025). This public establishment oversees all of the Kingdom’s airport platforms, their modernization, their security and air navigation services.

In July 2025, the Moroccan government and Airports of Morocco signed a landmark memorandum of understanding for a 38 billion dirham investment over five years. The ambitious goal is to increase the capacity of the national airport network from 34 million to 80 million passengers per year by 2030, particularly in anticipation of the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which Morocco will co-host with Spain and Portugal. Of this amount, 25 billion dirhams will be allocated to the construction of a new hub terminal and an additional runway in Casablanca, as well as the development of the airports in Marrakech, Agadir, Tangier, and Fez.

Here are the main airports in Morocco that you can use during your trip:

Casablanca Mohammed V Airport: the main hub

Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca is by far Morocco’s largest and busiest airport. Serving as the national hub for Royal Air Maroc, this modern airport handled over 9 million passengers in 2025 and continues to expand its infrastructure. With a new concourse under development, modern boarding gates, shopping areas, restaurants and lounges, Mohammed V is increasingly a point of entry and departure for business and leisure travelers from around the world.
The airport offers excellent road connections to Casablanca’s city center (about 25 km away) via the high-speed train link to Casablanca Airport station, completed in recent years, and via traditional taxi and car rental services. For travelers heading to Marrakech (250 km south) or other destinations, numerous ground transportation options are available.

Marrakech Menara Airport: the tourist gateway

Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) is Morocco’s second-largest airport and the main gateway for tourists visiting the South. With nearly 9 million passengers in 2025, Menara Airport serves primarily European leisure travelers heading to Marrakech and its surrounding areas. The airport is well connected with numerous European cities via budget and full-service airlines. Located just 6 km from the city center, it offers easy access to the medina, palaces and the nearby Atlas Mountains.

Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport: the gateway to the North

Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport (TNG), serving northern Morocco, has become increasingly important for travelers visiting the Tangier region, Tetouan and the northern coasts. The airport is connected to major European cities and acts as an alternative gateway to Mohammed V for European travelers heading to northern or central Morocco. The airport is only 15 km from Tangier’s city center.

Agadir Al Massira Airport: beach and mountain access

Agadir Al Massira Airport (AGA) serves primarily coastal and mountain tourism in the Souss-Massa region. With numerous connections to European cities, it is a convenient gateway for travelers heading to Agadir’s beaches, the anti-Atlas Mountains or the regions of Taroudant and Tiznit. The airport is located about 22 km from Agadir’s city center and beaches.

Fes Saïss Airport: history and culture

Fes Saïss Airport (FEZ) serves northeastern Morocco and is the main airport for travelers interested in Morocco’s imperial cities and history. The airport connects to major European cities and is the gateway to Fes Medina, Meknes, Ifrane and the Middle Atlas Mountains. Located about 15 km south of Fes, the airport has been modernized to handle increased passenger traffic.

Oujda Angad Airport: the eastern gateway

Oujda Angad Airport (OUD) serves eastern Morocco and is an important connection point for travelers heading to the eastern regions, including the Rif Mountains and areas near the Algerian border.

Essaouira Mogador Airport: coastal charm

Essaouira Mogador Airport (ESU) serves the popular Atlantic coastal destination of Essaouira, attracting both beach tourists and adventure travelers seeking kiteboarding, hiking and cultural experiences.

Other airports in Morocco

Morocco’s airport network also includes Laayoune Hassan I Airport (EUN) and Dakhla Airport (VIL) in Moroccan Sahara, as well as regional airports such as Al Hoceima Acharif Al Idriss Airport (AHU), Ouarzazate Moulay Ali Cherif Airport (OZZ), Errachidia Moulay Ali Cherif Airport (ERH), Guelmim Airport (GLN), Tan-Tan Airport (TTA), Zagora Airport (OZG) and Beni Mellal Airport. These airports play an important role in connecting remote regions and developing domestic tourism.

Traveling to Morocco in 2026 also means managing your Internet connection. Whether it’s navigating the narrow streets of medinas using Google Maps, sharing photos of your desert adventures, responding to professional emails from your Marrakech riad, making video calls with your family or simply watching a series in your hotel in the evening, a reliable and fast Internet connection has become essential.

Yet connectivity remains a real headache for many travelers in Morocco. Getting a local SIM card can be time-consuming (administrative procedures, ID requirements, waiting in stores), operators’ data offers can be incomprehensible for a foreigner, and hotel WiFi is often slow, unsecured, or simply absent in rural areas, traditional medina riads, or desert camps.

Roaming solutions from your European operator are often overpriced, potentially reaching several euros per megabyte if you exceed your plan. And even with new European regulations, “roaming like at home” does not apply outside the European Union and Morocco is not part of it.

This is exactly the problem that Rentaphone.ma solves by offering a simple, effective solution designed for travelers: renting portable WiFi routers for Morocco.

What is a portable WiFi router?

A portable WiFi router (also called pocket WiFi or MiFi) is a small device the size of a thick credit card that captures the 4G/LTE signal from the local mobile network and broadcasts it as WiFi around it. Practically speaking, it creates your own personal WiFi hotspot that you can take anywhere with you, whether you’re in a taxi in Casablanca, in the souks of Marrakech, in the Dadès Gorges or in a seaside campground.

Advantages of the Rentaphone.ma portable WiFi router

8 hours of battery life : The portable WiFi router offered by Rentaphone.ma provides up to 8 hours of battery on a single charge. This is enough for a full day of sightseeing and exploration without having to search for an electrical outlet. You can recharge it overnight at your accommodation and take it fully charged in the morning.

Unlimited connection : No more worries about data quotas! The Rentaphone.ma router offers a completely unlimited connection with no data cap. You can stream videos, make WhatsApp calls, use Google Maps continuously, download files, without ever watching a gigabyte counter with anxiety.

10 devices connected simultaneously : Are you traveling with family, friends or on a professional stay with colleagues? The router allows up to 10 devices to be connected at the same time. Smartphones, tablets, laptops, e-readers — everyone is connected with a single device, which avoids each person having to manage their own connection.

High-speed 300 Mbps throughout Morocco : The Rentaphone.ma router delivers speeds of up to 300 Mbps on 4G LTE, which represents a fast and fluid connection. To give you an idea, 300 Mbps is more than enough to stream HD videos on multiple devices at the same time, make high-quality video calls, and work remotely without any lag. And this performance is available everywhere in Morocco, both in major cities and outside urban areas.

No configuration : This is perhaps the most appreciable advantage for non-tech-savvy travelers. Upon receiving the device, all you need to do is turn it on. The WiFi network is already configured, the network name and password are indicated on the device. No need to install an application, no need to configure anything, no SIM card to insert. You turn it on, you connect, it’s that simple.

Why is a portable WiFi router better than a local SIM card?

Buying a local SIM card in Morocco requires going to a phone store, presenting an ID document, understanding available plans (sometimes only in Arabic or approximate French), waiting for activation and managing top-ups. That’s valuable time lost on your trip. And if you’re traveling with several people, you’d need multiple SIM cards and multiple configurations.

With the Rent A Phone router, you don’t have to do anything: the device is delivered ready to use, and a single device is enough for your entire family or group.

Why is it better than hotel WiFi?

Hotel WiFi in Morocco is very uneven. In modern large hotel chains in Casablanca or Marrakech, the connection is generally decent in the rooms. But in traditional riads in the medinas, in guesthouses in the mountains, in desert camps or in small hotels in secondary cities, WiFi is often slow, unstable, or simply absent. And in any case, as soon as you leave your accommodation, you no longer have a connection.

With your Rentaphone.ma portable router, you have your own personal connection wherever you go. Souks, museums, restaurants, rental cars, public transportation — you’re always connected.

Who is this solution for?

The Rent A Phone portable WiFi router is ideal for tourists visiting Morocco for the first time who want to navigate easily with Google Maps, travelers who work remotely and need a reliable connection for their video conferences, families or groups of friends who want to share a single connection without multiplying costs, photographers and content creators who need to send large files or do live streams from the field, and business travelers on short trips who don’t want to commit with a local operator.

Morocco in 2026 is a country in transformation, proud of its heritage and looking toward the future. Its skies are more connected than ever, with Royal Air Maroc launching new routes to Los Angeles, Saint Petersburg, Tripoli and Beirut, and a multitude of budget airlines making travel accessible from throughout Europe. Its airports are being fully modernized to welcome the tens of millions of visitors expected for the 2030 World Cup.

But once you’ve landed on Moroccan soil, the real question remains the same: how do you stay connected to fully enjoy your stay, without stress and without nasty surprises on your bill? The answer is simple: with the Rentaphone.ma portable WiFi router. 8 hours of battery, unlimited connection, 10 devices, 300 Mbps and zero configuration. Everything you need to explore Morocco with peace of mind.
