Royal Air Morocco to inaugurate Naples-Casablanca flight
February 22, 2017
The Naples airport is the southernmost Italian destination of the Moroccan carrier that also provides service to Milan, Venice, Turin, Bologna and Rome. From Casablanca, travelers can depart for more than thirty destinations in sub-Saharan Africa.
"This flight covers a gap in the Royal Air Morocco network, which aims to develop tourism traffic from Naples and all of southern Italy," said Mohammed Maali, Royal Air Morocco director-general for Italy.
"We're also aiming at a streamlined connection with New York, where we operate with one flight a day, and that requires just one hour of waiting time for those who go to from Naples to Casablanca to then cross the ocean," he said.
The flight takes three hours from Naples and three hours, 20 minutes from Casablanca.
It will begin operating March 28 with Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday flights, currently on sale for 120 euros round-trip through May 31. Destinations in Africa that connect from Casablanca include Dakar, Abidjan, Accra, Lagos, and Ouagadougou. Royal Air carries about 140,000 passengers from Italy to Morocco each year. It plans to reach 35,000 passengers from Naples in the first year.
