China’s Shanghai Airlines Adds Morocco Link

Shanghai Airlines is set to boost connectivity between China and North Africa with the launch of a new one-stop route to Morocco later this month. Starting Jan. 19, the carrier will extend its existing Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) to Marseille Provence Airport service to Casablanca’s Mohammed V International Airport. Flights will operate three times per week using Boeing 787-9 aircraft. Shanghai Airlines received approval from the Civil Aviation Administration of China in the third quarter of 2024 to operate up to five weekly flights on the Shanghai-Marseille-Casablanca route. It marks the airline’s first service to Africa and becomes only the second link between mainland China and Morocco, complementing Royal Air Maroc’s flights between Casablanca and Beijing Daxing International Airport.<br/>
