Visit delta.comMarrakech me if you can: Delta’s first flight to Morocco takes off October 2025
Delta expands its African footprint with nonstop service from Atlanta to Morocco’s “Red City” and adds seasonal flights to Accra.
Delta is expanding its African network with new nonstop routes from Atlanta, including its first-ever service to Marrakech, Morocco*, starting Oct. 25. The airline is also adding seasonal service from Atlanta to Accra, Ghana, beginning Dec. 1, to meet peak winter demand. With these additions, Delta is making both destinations more accessible while bringing its renowned premium experience to more of Africa.
Since launching service to Africa in 2006, Delta has remained committed to connecting customers between the U.S. and the continent. Today, the airline operates nonstop flights to five African destinations year-round and has carried more than 7.5 million customers on these routes.
“Delta’s new service to Marrakech and added flights to Accra strengthen our presence in Africa, offering more opportunities for customers to enjoy our award-winning service and premium onboard experience,” said Paul Baldoni, Senior Vice President of Network Planning at Delta. “Whether discovering Morocco or reconnecting with loved ones in Ghana, these routes enhance our network while reinforcing Atlanta’s role as the world’s largest global hub.”
A new gateway to the magic of Marrakech
With its centuries-old traditions, vibrant souks and world-class luxury, Marrakech is a city that captivates the senses at every turn. As interest in Morocco increases, Delta’s new service—featuring one-stop connections from over 125 cities—opens the door to this UNESCO-listed destination like never before.
Customers can immerse themselves in the lively Medina of Marrakech, weaving through bustling markets and tranquil riads with sun-drenched courtyards. They can marvel at the intricate tilework of the Bahia Palace, feel the energy of Jemaa el-Fnaa Square and unwind with the soothing ritual of a hammam spa; each experience is a perfect blend of culture and relaxation, complemented by Morocco’s bold, aromatic cuisine. Just beyond the city, travelers can trek through the Atlas Mountains or escape to the serenity of a desert retreat.
Delta’s Atlanta-Marrakech flight, ATL-RAK, will operate three-times-weekly on a Boeing 767-400ER, featuring Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin. Delta One offers lie-flat seats, premium amenities and chef-curated meals, including a build-your-own ice cream sundae. Delta Premium Select provides a wider seat, deeper recline and an enhanced dining experience.
Now boarding: fast, free Wi-Fi on routes to West Africa
Delta is on a journey to bring fast, free Wi-Fi to its entire global fleet – connectivity at an unprecedented scale that remains unmatched in the industry. SkyMiles Members traveling to Morocco on Delta can look forward to reliable, streaming-quality connectivity from the time the boarding door closes to the moment the plane arrives at the gate, allowing them stay connected and entertained – just like they would at home, for free. Expansion to remaining international routes is well underway, with all additional routes to West Africa (Lagos, Dakar and Accra) expected to be available with fast, free Delta Sync Wi-Fi in the coming weeks - in addition to Marrakech when it begins service in October.
More Accra Service
With strong demand from U.S.-Africa travelers, Accra remains one of Delta’s most popular African destinations, especially during the holiday season.
To accommodate peak demand, Delta is launching seasonal daily nonstop service from Atlanta to Accra, complementing its daily year-round service from New York-JFK.
Following the debut of the Airbus A330-900neo on the JFK-ACC route last October, the same aircraft type will now also operate on the Atlanta route, offering an elevated onboard experience featuring Delta One Suites and next-generation comfort across all cabins.
“Africa is home to some of the world’s most dynamic cities, rich traditions, and growing economies, and Delta is making it easier than ever to reach them,” said Matteo Curcio, Senior Vice President of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India at Delta. “These new routes open doors for travelers seeking business opportunities, cultural exploration, and meaningful connections.”
Two Delta Network Planning team members provide an inside look at some of the decisions that shape where and when customers can fly.
Continued Investments in Atlanta
Atlanta is Delta’s largest hub, operating nearly 1,000 daily flights and connecting travelers to 215 destinations worldwide. With the addition of Marrakech, Delta offers 67 international destinations from Atlanta, reinforcing its position as a global gateway with other recent additions including Naples and Brussels.
Additionally, Delta has invested more than $12 billion into modernizing its hub network, including major enhancements at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport:
- A new 24,000-square-foot Delta Sky Club — the largest in the airport — opening this spring on Concourse D, featuring panoramic views and amenities for every type of traveler
- Upgrades to Delta Sky Clubs on Concourses A and C designed to elevate the guest experience
- The expansion of Concourse D, adding more gate space and improving passenger flow.
- Delta Digital ID enabling eligible travelers to move through security and bag drop seamlessly without showing a physical ID or boarding pass.
These investments continue to elevate the travel experience for customers flying through Atlanta, whether they’re heading to Marrakech’s colorful souks, Accra’s lively streets or anywhere else in the world.
