LARAM boosts Moscow Casablanca flights
Royal Air Maroc has increased the number of flights between Moscow and Casablanca to 14 weekly flights starting October 25, 2026, operating at a rate of two flights per day. This expansion responds to the continuous growth in Russian demand for Morocco, especially from tourists and travelers passing through Mohamed V Airport. This increase follows a rise from seven to nine flights in January 2026 and now also includes a direct route between Casablanca and Saint Petersburg, bringing the total weekly flights between Morocco and Russia to 19. The growth is attributed to the rise in Russian tourism to Morocco, which reached about 27,700 trips in 2025—a 39.6% increase compared to 2024—with expectations of continued growth in 2026. This trend is supported by the variety of Moroccan tourist destinations and changes in the Russian travel landscape due to geopolitical tensions, as well as the advantage of short-term visa-free entry for Russians. Additionally, the airline benefits from Casablanca’s role as a transit hub for Russian travelers heading to Europe, Africa, and the Americas, especially with the closure of European airspace to Russian aircraft, which enhances Casablanca's position as a transfer center. This expansion indicates that Royal Air Maroc is no longer solely focusing on Russian tourism to Morocco, but also on transit passengers, leveraging its extensive flight network and evolving Russian travel patterns.
