A Commitment to Africa

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.
