What CAI to CMN looks like
The CAI to CMN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Cairo CAI to Casablanca CMN is a long haul sector of 3,684 km by great circle, flown nonstop 3.6 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,684 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 4h 56m.
Cairo CAI is a large airport in the network held here, 105 scheduled destinations and 311.7 departures a day. Casablanca CMN has 104 destinations and 130.1 departures a day.
Casablanca runs 2 hours behind of Cairo in January and 3 hours behind in July, because the two ends do not change their clocks together.
The pair sits inside Africa, a corridor the written lanes do not cover, which is the reason a computed page for it exists at all.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on CAI to CMN from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| CAI to CMN | 3.57 | 25 | EgyptAir, Royal Air Maroc |
| CMN to CAI | 3.29 | 23 | EgyptAir, Royal Air Maroc |
Two carriers hold the sector, EgyptAir and Royal Air Maroc, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
At 3.6 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 48 departures a week on CAI to CMN, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 4h 56m block time on CAI to CMN. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to CAI | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At CAI before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| CAI to CMN in the air, estimated | 296 min | 9h 26m |
| Formalities at CMN | 90 min | 10h 56m |
| Delivery run in Casablanca | 45 min | 11h 41m |
| Door to door | 701 min | 11h 41m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for CAI to CMN is 11h 41m.
A courier who leaves Cairo at 09:00 local is on the ground in Casablanca at about 11:56 local and at the door by 14:11 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Casablanca, the last useful departure from Cairo is around 12:49 local.
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. 40 of them join CAI to CMN.
| Connecting at | CAI to hub, flights a day | Hub to CMN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tunis TUN | 1.71 | 3.71 | 3,760 | 6h 49m |
| Amman AMM | 9.43 | 0.71 | 4,531 | 7h 35m |
| Madrid MAD | 2.14 | 5.14 | 4,219 | 7h 39m |
| Rome FCO | 4.71 | 1.43 | 4,127 | 7h 46m |
| Barcelona BCN | 1.86 | 3.14 | 4,133 | 7h 47m |
| Istanbul SAW | 3.57 | 1.86 | 4,563 | 7h 50m |
With 3.6 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
40 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Tunis TUN, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through TUN the routing covers 3,760 km against the 3,684 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 49m 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 53m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Amman AMM at 7h 35m and Madrid MAD at 7h 39m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
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 CAI 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.
