Great news !

Hi guys, I'd appreciate some info if possible - has Casablanca ever been served from Manchester before this recent and, if so, when was it? Thanks!

No, the only places in Morocco have been Agadir and Marrakech. Back in 1991 RAM were being touted for a 2 or 3 weekly service to Agadir; it wasn't unusual for 2 RAM charters to be in at the same time on Fridays in the late 1980s (I've seen the 727, 737 and 757s here. Showing my age again 🙁 )

Tangiers was served by both Dan Air and British Airtours in the early 1980s.

Looks like RAM actually increase MAN-CMN from 30th March.

The 4th weekly is bookable from that date, other than 4 Friday's beginning 18th May, when it returns on 15th June.

Do we know the load factor for Casablanca for November?

Did I read correctly circa 1300 pax across say 12 flights.

 

[David_itl]

Royal Air Maroc increasing frequency to 4 weekly.

[Scottie Dog]

Having increased services to 4 per week last summer it looks as if they will be adding an extra 2 per week to make the service daily except Tuesday.

Rapid expansion from RAM

Royal Air Maroc will become a full member of One World in mid 2020. The first new member in 6 years.

This slipped under the radar as it was part of a network revision on routeonline https://www.routesonline.com/news/3...yal-air-maroc-s19-casablanca-network-changes/

"Casablanca – Manchester Frequency revised from 3 weekly to following:
01APR19 – 21JUN19 2 weekly (Previous plan: 2 weekly in May only)
23JUN19 – 13SEP19 4 weekly (1 of 4 weekly operated by Embraer E190)
16SEP19 – 25OCT19 2 weekly "

 

[Scottie Dog]

Confirmation of David's post now received via the latest ACL update.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Unfortunately it appears as if RAM will further reduce their Manchester operations this summer. The latest ACL report shows just 2 flights per week, on Monday and Friday, for the Summer period.

 

[Scottie Dog]

According to Airlineroute RAM restart Casablanca/Manchester on 1st September.

 

[Scottie Dog]

According to Airlineroute dated 18th September RAM have cancelled the Manchester service until at least start of S21.

In the passenger figures released today is this....

"we have just announced flights to Casablanca with Royal Air Maroc"
