What ALC to CMN looks like
The ALC to CMN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Alicante ALC to Casablanca CMN is a short sector of 837 km by great circle, flown nonstop 4 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 837 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 34m.
Alicante ALC is a large airport in the network held here, 145 scheduled destinations and 231.5 departures a day. Casablanca CMN has 104 destinations and 130.1 departures a day.
Casablanca runs one hour behind of Alicante in January and 2 hours behind in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits between Africa and Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 8 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 35 of them join ALC to CMN.
| Connecting at | ALC to hub, flights a day | Hub to CMN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fez FEZ | 0.71 | 0.71 | 876 | 3h 17m |
| Seville SVQ | 1.14 | 0.71 | 954 | 3h 24m |
| Marrakech RAK | 1 | 5 | 1,207 | 3h 35m |
| Madrid MAD | 5.57 | 5.14 | 1,226 | 4h 09m |
| Lisbon LIS | 1.71 | 3.14 | 1,366 | 4h 16m |
| Porto OPO | 1.57 | 0.71 | 1,650 | 4h 31m |
35 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Fez FEZ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through FEZ the routing covers 876 km against the 837 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 17m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 43m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Seville SVQ at 3h 24m and Marrakech RAK at 3h 35m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Alicante, Valencia VLC is 134 km away by great circle and carries 101 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Casablanca, Rabat RBA is 109 km away by great circle and carries 43 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for ALC to CMN in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
