British Airways and Royal Air Maroc have announced a new codeshare agreement which will allow new routes across Morocco including Casablanca and Agadir.  It will also give customers more flight flexibility between London Heathrow and Marrakesh.

Casablanca also serves as an ideal hub for connections onto other Royal Air Maroc destinations, including Abidjan in the Ivory Coast, Freetown in Sierra Leone and Agadir in Morocco.

Customers are now able to utilize the new agreement and codeshare flights will operate from February 20, prior to the Moroccan airline’s joining of the oneworld alliance on April 1, 2020.
