The newly established connection will operate three times per week, with flights scheduled on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. These services will be conducted using state-of-the-art wide-body aircraft. Departures from Casablanca are set for 04:00, arriving in Los Angeles at 08:20 local time. Return flights will depart California at 10:20, landing in Casablanca the following day at 05:25.

This strategic expansion is integral to the national carrier’s development plan, which was formalized with the government in July 2023. It aims to elevate Casablanca’s standing as a premier aviation hub, facilitating seamless connections between Africa, Europe, and the Americas. The route is also designed to meet the growing demand from the Moroccan diaspora, international tourists, business travelers, and football enthusiasts.

With this latest inauguration, RAM further solidifies its extensive footprint in North America, complementing its existing direct services to major cities such as New York, Washington, Miami, Montreal, and Toronto.
