Royal Air Maroc (RAM) will debut the first nonstop flight from Miami to Casablanca, Morocco, on April 3, 2019.
The new route will mark Miami International Airport’s (MIA) first passenger flights to Africa since 2000 and Florida’s only nonstop service to the continent, according to MIA.
The Moroccan national carrier will operate three weekly roundtrips between MIA and Mohammed V International Airport, which offers dozens of connections to North African, West African and Middle Eastern destinations.
The flights will depart Casablanca at 11:20 a.m. Eastern Time and arrive at MIA at 7:05 p.m.; then depart MIA at 8:45 p.m. and arrive in Casablanca at 5:55 a.m. the following day.
Offering more than 90 destinations with a fleet of 55 aircrafts, RAM is considered Morocco’s largest airline.
“We have long sought to re-establish nonstop passenger service to Africa, and to accomplish that with an airline and a destination of this caliber is an added bonus,” Miami-Dade Aviation Director Lester Sola said.
The airport is the country’s third-busiest airport for international passengers and the top U.S. airport for international freight.
