In a major leap for African aviation, Morocco's national airline, Royal Air Maroc (RAM), has announced that it will inaugurate a historic nonstop route between Casablanca and Los Angeles beginning June 7, 2026.
This Africa's first direct air link to the U.S. Pacific Coast marks a significant expansion in global connectivity and positions Morocco as a central bridge between Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
According to the airline, the new route will operate three times per week and offer a flight time of approximately 12 hours, making it one of RAM's longest intercontinental services.
RAM says the service primarily targets:
The Moroccan and African diaspora in the U.S. American leisure travelers
Business communities across the Pacific Rim
Football supporters heading to the 2026 World Cup, expected to draw up to 5 million international fans.
