Morocco is one of those destinations where private aviation makes perfect sense especially if you're heading to Marrakech or Casablanca. It’s close enough for a quick hop from Europe, but far enough to benefit from the comfort and efficiency of a private jet.
Whether you're planning a weekend retreat, a business visit, or a longer stay, flying private to Morocco turns a beautiful destination into a seamless experience. Here's what to know before you go.
Why Fly Private to Morocco?
First, the logistics: Morocco is well-connected by commercial routes, but private aviation lets you bypass the noise, quite literally. No crowds, no layovers, no border control lines. Just a direct, discreet arrival into two of the country’s most vibrant cities.
Most flights from Europe to Morocco take between 2 to 3 hours. From London, Paris, or Madrid, you can leave after breakfast and be sipping mint tea in Marrakech before lunch.
Marrakech: Style, Space, and Arrival in Peace
Marrakech Menara Airport is fully equipped for private jet arrivals and offers a separate terminal for VIP handling. This means you'll clear customs quickly and head straight into the city with minimal delay.Private charters to Marrakech are especially popular for:
- High-end holidays and luxury riad stays
- Creative retreats and fashion shoots
- Wellness getaways in the desert
- Event travel (from destination weddings to art festivals)
We often coordinate onward transfers by SUV or luxury van straight to medina gates or desert camps, all without the chaos of a commercial terminal.
Casablanca: Where Business Meets Culture
Casablanca Mohammed V International is Morocco’s busiest airport and a key gateway for private jet travellers handling business in West Africa or the Maghreb.
Flying private here makes sense if:
- You're managing meetings across multiple cities
- You’re continuing on to Dakar, Abidjan, or Nouakchott
- You want to arrive rested and ready to work, with no airport fatigue
We arrange smooth connections and board-to-board transfers for multi-stop itineraries or regional hops, all handled behind the scenes.
Aircraft, Timing & Logistics
Popular aircraft types for Morocco routes include:
- Light and midsize jets (Phenom 300, Citation XLS+) for couples or small groups
- Super midsize and large jets (Challenger 350, Falcon 2000) for families or business teams
- Long-range jets (Gulfstream G600, Global 6500) if you're coming from the U.S. or UAE
Customs and immigration are fast, but security remains thorough expect a smooth but professional process at both Marrakech and Casablanca FBOs.
When to Go
- Spring (March–May) and Autumn (September–November) are ideal
- Summers can be hot inland, but perfect for coastal or Atlas getaways
- Major holidays and events (Ramadan, Marrakech Film Festival) may affect timing and demand
If you're traveling during peak season or aligning with festivals, we recommend booking your jet well in advance to secure slot times.
