Delta is expanding its African network with new nonstop routes from Atlanta, including its first-ever service to Marrakech, Morocco, starting October 25. The airline is also adding seasonal service from Atlanta to Accra, Ghana, beginning December 1, to meet peak winter demand.
Since launching service to Africa in 2006, Delta has remained committed to connecting customers between the U.S. and the continent. Today, the airline operates nonstop flights to five African destinations year-round and has carried more than 7.5 million customers on these routes.
Delta’s service from Atlanta (ATL) to Marrakech (RAK) will operate three-times-weekly on a Boeing 767-400ER, featuring Delta One, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+ and Main Cabin. Delta One offers lie-flat seats, premium amenities and chef-curated meals, including a build-your-own ice cream sundae. Delta Premium Select provides a wider seat, deeper recline and an enhanced dining experience.
Delta is on a journey to bring fast, free Wi-Fi to its entire global fleet. SkyMiles members traveling to Morocco on Delta can look forward to reliable, streaming-quality connectivity which allows them to stay connected and entertained throughout the flight. Expansion to remaining international routes is well underway, with all additional routes to West Africa (Lagos, Dakar and Accra) expected to be available with fast, free Delta Sync Wi-Fi in the coming weeks—in addition to Marrakech when it begins service in October.
With strong demand from U.S. travelers, Accra remains one of Delta’s most popular African destinations, especially during the holiday season. To accommodate peak demand, Delta is launching seasonal daily nonstop service from Atlanta to Accra, complementing its daily year-round service from New York–JFK.
Following the debut of the Airbus A330-900neo on the JFK–ACC 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 enhanced comfort across all cabins.
Atlanta is Delta’s largest hub, operating nearly 1,000 daily flights and connecting travelers to 215 destinations worldwide. With the addition of Marrakech, Delta offers 67 international destinations from Atlanta, reinforcing its position as a global gateway with other recent additions including Naples and Brussels.
