Emirates will begin deploying the A380 on its service between Dubai and Casablanca on 26 March 2017, marking the first ever commercial A380 flight to Morocco and North Africa by any airline.

The A380 will replace the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft currently used on the Dubai-Casablanca route, offering increased seat capacity across all three cabin classes and an enhanced premium product experience.

The switch to the A380 offers a total of 1834 additional seats per week, meeting a growing demand from travellers on the route, with 14 private suites in First Class, 76 lie flat seats in Business Class and 401 seats in spacious Economy Class cabin.

Flight EK751 will leave Dubai every day at 07:25hrs and arrive in Casablanca at 12:55hrs. The return flight, EK752, will depart Casablanca at 14:55hrs and land in Dubai at 01:25hrs the next morning.
