Royal Air Maroc on Sunday launched nonstop service to a new destination on the U.S. West Coast.
The carrier is now offering three times weekly flights between Casablanca and Los Angeles. Flights will operate on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, using Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
Royal Air Maroc has never served a destination on the West Coast before.
The airline said the new route will strengthen its North American network just in time for the FIFA World Cup, which is being jointly hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The tournament begins on Thursday.
Los Angeles is Royal Air Maroc’s fourth destination in the U.S. and sixth in North America; it currently serves New York-JFK, Washington Dulles, and Miami, and Toronto and Montreal in Canada.
