This route, linking the two cities in under six hours, responds to a growing demand for travel between Morocco and Russia, whether for business, academic, or tourism purposes, RAM stated in a press release.
Quoted in the release, Royal Air Maroc’s Chairman and CEO, Hamid Addou, affirmed that the opening of this new route to Saint Petersburg represents a major strategic step for the national airline.
He added: “It strengthens our presence in Russia and illustrates our commitment to connecting Morocco and the African continent to the world’s major economic and cultural hubs. This new service will meet the growing expectations of travelers in terms of connectivity, while providing an even higher quality onboard experience, in line with our continuous improvement efforts for customer satisfaction.”
Starting January 20, 2026, Royal Air Maroc will offer three weekly flights between Casablanca and Saint Petersburg. Departures from Casablanca are scheduled for Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 11:10 p.m. (local time), arriving in Saint Petersburg at 6:55 a.m. the following day (local time). Return flights will depart Saint Petersburg on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays at 8:05 a.m., arriving in Casablanca at 11:45 a.m. (local time).
This new route complements the airline’s existing service to Russia, which already includes a daily flight between Casablanca and Moscow. It reflects the growing economic, cultural, and tourism exchanges between the two countries.
Morocco continues to attract an increasing number of Russian visitors each year, drawn by its pleasant climate, rich heritage, and renowned hospitality.
Saint Petersburg, a cultural gem listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands among Russia’s most iconic destinations. With its world-famous museums such as the Hermitage, its picturesque canals, and its majestic architecture, it offers travelers a truly unique experience.
Tickets for the new route will be available for purchase starting Thursday, October 23, through the national carrier’s official website, call centers, sales offices, and network of travel agencies.
