Delta Air Lines has reached a new milestone in its international network with the launch of its first non-stop flight between Atlanta and Marrakech. This direct link connects the southeastern United States with the heart of Morocco for the first time, opening a new chapter in connectivity, culture, and opportunity.
Celebration at Atlanta Airport
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport became the epicenter of an authentic celebration. The atmosphere at the gate reflected the excitement of the moment: live Moroccan music, traditional sweets, colorful gifts, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the start of this historic route.
Delta employees, airport partners, and the inaugural flight’s first passengers took part in the event, sharing their enthusiasm for this step that strengthens ties between the two regions.

A Commitment to Africa
“The new non-stop service to Marrakech represents an exciting milestone in our commitment to connecting the United States and Africa,” said Christine Marchand-Pardo, Delta’s Managing Director of Operations for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India (EMEAI).
According to the executive, this route “opens the door to one of the world’s most vibrant and culturally rich destinations, making travel easier for our customers.”
Three Weekly Flights and a Premium Experience
The route will operate with three weekly frequencies from Atlanta, combining convenience with Delta’s renowned premium experience. Passengers can enjoy lie-flat seats in Delta One, curated dining, and amenities designed to provide comfort at every stage of the journey.
With this expansion, Atlanta reaffirms its role as a leading global hub, offering seamless connections and solidifying its position as a strategic point between the Americas and Africa. Marrakech, the “Red City,” is now closer than ever.
Delta’s new service not only connects two continents but also two worlds full of energy, history, and color. With this route, the airline reinforces its commitment to building bridges between dynamic regions and facilitating unique travel experiences.
