Delta
is expanding its African network with new nonstop routes from Atlanta,
including its first-ever service to Marrakech, Morocco*, starting Oct. 25. The
airline is also adding seasonal service from Atlanta to Accra, Ghana, beginning
Dec. 1, to meet peak winter demand. With these additions, Delta is making both
destinations more accessible while bringing its renowned premium experience to
more of Africa.
Since
launching service to Africa in 2006, Delta has remained committed to connecting
customers between the U.S. and the continent. Today, the airline operates
nonstop flights to five African destinations year-round and has carried more
than 7.5 million customers on these routes.
“Delta’s
new service to Marrakech and added flights to Accra strengthen our presence in
Africa, offering more opportunities for customers to enjoy our award-winning
service and premium onboard experience,” said Paul Baldoni, Senior Vice
President of Network Planning at Delta. “Whether discovering Morocco or
reconnecting with loved ones in Ghana, these routes enhance our network while
reinforcing Atlanta’s role as the world’s largest global hub.”
A
new gateway to the magic of Marrakech
With
its centuries-old traditions, vibrant souks and world-class luxury, Marrakech
is a city that captivates the senses at every turn. As interest in Morocco
increases, Delta’s new service—featuring one-stop connections from over 125
cities—opens the door to this UNESCO-listed destination like never
before.
Customers
can immerse themselves in the lively Medina of Marrakech, weaving through
bustling markets and tranquil riads with sun-drenched courtyards. They can
marvel at the intricate tilework of the Bahia Palace, feel the energy of Jemaa
el-Fnaa Square and unwind with the soothing ritual of a hammam spa; each
experience is a perfect blend of culture and relaxation, complemented by
Morocco’s bold, aromatic cuisine. Just beyond the city, travelers can trek
through the Atlas Mountains or escape to the serenity of a desert
retreat.
Delta’s
Atlanta-Marrakech flight, ATL-RAK, will operate three-times-weekly on a Boeing 767-400ER,
featuring Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin. Delta
One offers lie-flat seats, premium amenities and chef-curated meals, including
a build-your-own ice cream sundae. Delta Premium Select provides a wider seat,
deeper recline and an enhanced dining experience.
