Home / Blog / Royal Air Maroc Launches Nonstop Casablanca – St. Petersburg Service

Royal Air Maroc has officially introduced its first direct flight between Casablanca (CMN) and St. Petersburg (LED), strengthening air connectivity between Morocco and Russia.

The inaugural nonstop service operated on 21 January 2026, removing the need for connecting flights and significantly reducing travel time between the two cities.

This new route supports:

  • Two-way leisure tourism
  • Business travel between Morocco and Russia
  • Stronger tour operator packaging opportunities
  • Casablanca’s position as a major international gateway

Flight Schedule

The route operates three times weekly using Boeing aircraft.
