Royal Air Maroc · AT · oneworld · Accra ⇄ Casablanca
Every night a Royal Air Maroc Boeing lands in Accra before dawn and leaves again an hour later for Casablanca. On three evenings a week a second flight follows. For many Ghanaians it has become the standard way to Europe, and increasingly to North America: one change in Casablanca, often at a lower fare than the direct European carriers. Here is what flies, when, what Casablanca connects to, and what you need to know about Morocco itself.
Royal Air Maroc was founded in 1957, a year after Morocco's independence, and built its strategy on Casablanca's position at the corner of Africa, Europe and the Atlantic. It flies to more African capitals than almost any other airline outside the continent's East, and on to Europe, the Gulf and the Americas. In June 2026 it opened Africa's first nonstop route to Los Angeles. Morocco plans to grow the fleet many times over ahead of the 2030 World Cup, which it co-hosts with Spain and Portugal.
Key facts
Royal Air Maroc flies Accra–Casablanca every day early in the morning, and adds an evening flight three times a week. Morocco is on GMT+1 for most of the year, one hour ahead of Ghana. During Ramadan it switches back to GMT, the same time as Ghana.

These times come from published schedules for July to October 2026, with the winter timetable from 29 October 2026. The daily rotation is the backbone; the evening flight days have shifted several times this year. Because Morocco moves its clocks around Ramadan, Casablanca arrival times shift by an hour in spring.

Say it in Moroccan Arabic, Amazigh and French
Morocco is Africa at its most visited: more than 17 million tourists a year come for the medinas of Marrakech and Fes, the Sahara dunes and the Atlas Mountains. Casablanca, where your plane lands, is the business capital but not the political one. That is Rabat, an hour up the coast. Morocco left the African Union in 1984 over the Western Sahara dispute and rejoined in 2017. It hosted the Africa Cup of Nations in 2025/26 and is preparing for the 2030 World Cup.

For West Africa, don't fly north first
Royal Air Maroc flies from Casablanca to Dakar, Conakry, Banjul, Ouagadougou, Cotonou, Lagos and many more. But from Accra a detour via Morocco rarely makes sense. Fly ASKY via Lomé, or one of the direct regional airlines. Our city pages show the quickest way from Accra: Dakar (Senegal), Conakry (Guinea), Banjul (The Gambia), Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Cotonou (Benin) and Lagos (Nigeria).
The daily Royal Air Maroc flight lands in Accra at five in the morning, which means a full first day in Ghana. Many European, American and Moroccan visitors arrive this way. Start with the capital, then head west to the castles at Cape Coast and Elmina and the canopy walk at Kakum.
