RBA Rabat

How deep the RBA board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from RBA. This reads the same 43 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.

• 38of the 43 destinations are flown by one airline
• 38destinations run less than once a day
• 1destination has four or more departures a day
• 41.9%of the destinations name Ryanair, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at RBA

15 airlines appear on the RBA board and they do not hold it evenly. Ryanair is on 18 of the 43 destinations, 41.9 per cent of them, and on 17 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 8.9 of the 28 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 8 destinations. 8 of the 15 airlines at RBA 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.

That is a middling concentration at RBA: one airline on 41.9 per cent of the destinations and the other 58.1 per cent spread across 14 airlines. A cancellation inside the Ryanair network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 25 destinations Ryanair does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the RBA board is daily

Of the 43 destinations, 5 are flown at least once a day and 38 are not, 3 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the RBA board is flown 3 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: RBA to Roma (CIA) 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 11.7 of the 28 departures a day, 41.8 per cent of the whole board. With 88.4 per cent of the 43 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 RBA 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. 26 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from RBA

The desk holds the return direction for 31 of the 43 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On one of them the return into RBA runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gap is Istanbul (IST) at 0.43 out a day against 0.29 back.

It runs the other way as well: London (LGW) files 0.86 a day back into RBA against 0.43 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at RBA

RBA 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 RBA, 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 RBA until the next morning, which is the practical limit on a same day instruction here.

The night at RBA

7 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 RBA that lands inside it leaves around 20:10, on a modelled block of 2h 50m. Into Paris (ORY) the door shuts at 23:30 local, so the last departure from RBA that lands inside it leaves around 19:42, on a modelled block of 2h 48m. Into Brussels (BRU) the door shuts at 23:00 local, so the last departure from RBA that lands inside it leaves around 18:50, on a modelled block of 3h 10m. Those three departure times out of RBA 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 RBA turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the Morocco country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

Three courier postings name RBA as the airport a courier here flies from: Casablanca, Rabat and Fes.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with RBA already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 43 destinations above.
