It marks an expansion of Delta’s African network, with the airline planning to operate the route between Atlanta and Marrakech.
The new route will start on the 25th October 2025. The Atlanta-Marrakech flight will operate three-times-weekly on a Boeing 767-400ER, featuring Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin.
In conjunction with the new route, Delta will also be adding a seasonal service from Atlanta to Accra, Ghana, beginning 1st December 2025, to meet peak winter demand. This new service will complement the existing daily year-round operation between New York-JFK and Accra.
Following the debut of the Airbus A330-900neo on the New York – Accra 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.
In Quotes
On the Marrakech route launch, Paul Baldoni, Senior Vice President of Network Planning at Delta said:
“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,”
“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.”
Matteo Curcio, Senior Vice President of Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India at Delta added:
“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,”
“These new routes open doors for travelers seeking business opportunities, cultural exploration, and meaningful connections.”
Just remember – printed boarding passes are needed
With Delta adding service to Marrakesh, there is one important thing you need to remember when checking in and passing security – you will need a printed boarding pass.
This can be a boarding pass printed from home, at a hotel or by the airline at the airport.
You will also need to go through a document check process as well before clearing security, so you will need to allow extra time at the airport when you travel.
