CMN Casablanca

How deep the CMN board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from CMN. This reads the same 104 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound, what the clock here does to a Gulf working day and which of the destinations shut at night, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 74of the 104 destinations are flown by one airline
• 60destinations run less than once a day
• 3destinations have four or more departures a day
• 86.5%of the destinations name Royal Air Maroc, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at CMN

27 airlines appear on the CMN board and they do not hold it evenly. Royal Air Maroc is on 90 of the 104 destinations, 86.5 per cent of them, and on 63 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 118.3 of the 130.1 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Air Arabia Maroc on 17 destinations. 21 of the 27 airlines at CMN appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

An airport held this tightly is quick to book and slow to recover: with 90 of the 104 destinations on one airline, the second aircraft on a CMN sector is usually another Royal Air Maroc aircraft, and when there is not one the desk is looking at another airport rather than another airline. That is why the alternate airports listed above matter more at CMN than the destination count does.

How much of the CMN board is daily

Of the 104 destinations, 44 are flown at least once a day and 60 are not, 5 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the CMN board is flown 6 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: CMN to Zagora (OZG) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 23.7 of the 130.1 departures a day, 18.2 per cent of the whole board. With 57.7 per cent of the 104 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of CMN where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 46 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from CMN

The desk holds the return direction for 86 of the 104 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On two of them the return into CMN runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are Kinshasa (FIH) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back and Yaoundé (NSI) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back.

It runs the other way as well: Paris (ORY) files 11 a day back into CMN against 2.7 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at CMN

CMN keeps Africa/Casablanca time, three hours behind Dubai all year.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 06:00 at CMN, so a nine to six day at each end overlaps for six hours. A customs question raised in the last three hours of the Dubai afternoon reaches nobody at CMN until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at CMN

10 of the destinations from here carry a documented night restriction of their own, which is a departure time question at this end rather than an arrival problem at the other.

Into Paris (CDG) the door shuts at 00:00 local, so the last departure from CMN that lands inside it leaves around 20:02, on a modelled block of 2h 58m. Into Brussels (BRU) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from CMN that lands inside it leaves around 18:43, on a modelled block of 3h 17m. Into Paris (ORY) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from CMN that lands inside it leaves around 19:35, on a modelled block of 2h 55m. Those three departure times out of CMN are worked backwards from the published window with the block time model this site uses everywhere, 720 to 880 km an hour by sector length with thirty minutes on the ground, so they are arithmetic rather than a timetable and the desk checks the published departure before it promises the landing.

Where CMN turns up on the rest of this site

CMN carries two other pages on this site as well: the Morocco country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport and the CMN transit page for the connecting case, where a courier changes aircraft here rather than starting or finishing.

The site publishes 49 airport pair pages that start or end at CMN, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Casablanca to Marrakech (RAK), Casablanca to Madrid (MAD) and Casablanca to Tunis (TUN).

Four of the 346 published hand carry lanes run through this airport: Abu Dhabi to Casablanca, Casablanca to Toulouse and Dubai to Casablanca. A lane page is the commercial version of the board above, with the customs, the ground legs and the price at CMN written out.

Two courier postings name CMN as the airport a courier here flies from: Casablanca and Rabat.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with CMN already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 104 destinations above.
