Delta Expands Its Network in Africa with New Route to Marrakech, Morocco
Delta Air Lines is expanding its presence in Africa with new non-stop flights from Atlanta, including its first service to Marrakech, Morocco. Starting October 25, 2025, the airline will connect passengers to this historic city while also increasing flight frequencies to Accra, Ghana, to meet winter demand.
Connecting the U.S. with Africa Since 2006
Since Delta began operations in Africa in 2006, it has transported over 7.5 million passengers on routes between the United States and the continent. Currently, it offers year-round direct flights to five African destinations, reinforcing its commitment to global connectivity.
“The new flights to Marrakech and the increased frequencies to Accra strengthen our presence in Africa and offer more opportunities for travelers to enjoy our award-winning service,” said Paul Baldoni, Senior Vice President of Network Planning at Delta.
