What CMN to RAK looks like
The CMN to RAK sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Casablanca CMN to Marrakech RAK is a short sector of 200 km by great circle, flown nonstop 5.3 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 200 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 48 min.
Casablanca CMN is a large airport in the network held here, 104 scheduled destinations and 130.1 departures a day. Marrakech RAK has 90 destinations and 89.9 departures a day.
Casablanca and Marrakech keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
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 CMN to RAK from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| CMN to RAK | 5.29 | 37 | Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc |
| RAK to CMN | 5 | 35 | Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc |
Two carriers hold the sector, Qatar Airways and Royal Air Maroc, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
At 5.3 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 72 departures a week on CMN to RAK, 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 48 min block time on CMN to RAK. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to CMN | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At CMN before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| CMN to RAK in the air, estimated | 48 min | 5h 18m |
| Formalities at RAK | 90 min | 6h 48m |
| Delivery run in Marrakech | 45 min | 7h 33m |
| Door to door | 453 min | 7h 33m |
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 CMN to RAK is 7h 33m.
A courier who leaves Casablanca at 09:00 local is on the ground in Marrakech at about 09:48 local and at the door by 12:03 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Marrakech, the last useful departure from Casablanca is around 14:57 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. 38 of them join CMN to RAK.
| Connecting at | CMN to hub, flights a day | Hub to RAK, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fez FEZ | 0.59 | 0.71 | 635 | 2h 56m |
| Tangier TNG | 0.59 | 0.57 | 802 | 3h 11m |
| Seville SVQ | 0.57 | 0.57 | 1,151 | 3h 42m |
| Malaga AGP | 3.14 | 3.14 | 1,114 | 3h 54m |
| Lisbon LIS | 2.71 | 3.43 | 1,422 | 4h 12m |
| Alicante ALC | 0.57 | 1 | 1,844 | 4h 36m |
With 5.3 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.
38 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 4.1 times a week.
Through FEZ the routing covers 635 km against the 200 km nonstop track and takes about 2h 56m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 08m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Tangier TNG at 3h 11m and Seville SVQ at 3h 42m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
The two ends are only 200 km apart in a straight line. Allowing a road track a quarter longer than that and eighty kilometres an hour, a car covers it in about 3h 08m, so a courier who misses the flight drives rather than connects, and on a short deadline the road is often the plan from the start.
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.
If nothing suitable leaves Marrakech, Agadir AGA is 194 km away by great circle and carries 52 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 CMN to RAK 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.
