Emirates will soon increase its services to Morocco with a second daily flight, boosting the service to 14 weekly flights beginning 1 September, 2014.
From 26 October, the airline will upgrade this additional daily from an Airbus A340-500 to a Boeing 777-300ER, which means both daily services will be served by Boeing 777s. The 777-300ER offers eight in first class, 42 in business class and 310 in economy class. The additional flight, coupled with an aircraft upgrade, will increase Emirates’ weekly passenger capacity to Morocco by 100 percent, representing an extra 2,520 seats per week in each direction.
“By providing an extra daily frequency and upgrading the aircraft, we are responding to the strong demand for additional capacity. The strengthened service will foster new business and tourism ties within Africa,” said Adil Al Ghaith, Emirates vice president commercial operations for Northern and Western Africa.
In the last 12 years, since the route launch in 2002, Emirates has carried over 1.6 million passengers between Dubai and Casablanca, helping Morocco to tap into key tourism markets and trade destinations such as Japan, China, Australia and Southeast Asia.
The new service flight EK753 will depart Dubai every day at 1455hrs and arrive in Casablanca at 2025 hrs. The return flight EK754 will leave Casablanca at 2200hrs, arriving in Casablanca at 0855hrs the next morning.
