Private jet charter in Morocco

Morocco sits closer to London than most people picture: a business jet that leaves Farnborough after breakfast has crossed France and Spain and is over the Atlas by lunchtime. The country then turns out to be several destinations on one runway system. Casablanca takes the contracts, Marrakech the weekends, Tangier the Strait, Agadir the surf and the golf, and Fez the old city. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. For Morocco that means a landing permit filed with the Moroccan civil aviation authority, a handler booked at the right terminal, a slot where one is required and a plain answer on which airport saves the long drive.

 

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Morocco depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from Farnborough, an Embraer Phenom 300E flying nonstop to Marrakech Menara and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

 

How long does it take to fly to Morocco?

Morocco keeps Greenwich Mean Time all year, so its clocks match Britain in winter and run an hour behind in summer. A nine o'clock departure from the south of England therefore lands in Marrakech at about half past twelve on the Moroccan clock in winter, and at half past eleven in summer. These are the sectors to Marrakech Menara on a Phenom 300E, gate to gate, from the airfields our clients use most:

The coast is nearer than the Atlas. The same aircraft reaches Tangier in under three hours and Casablanca in a little over three, and the far south is a different undertaking altogether:

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Morocco

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain to Marrakech Menara, listed cheapest first. Every row is a nonstop Phenom 300E, the smallest aircraft we price for this run. The tilt towards the south-west is plain in the order: a departure from Southampton, Cardiff or Bristol saves a couple of hundred pounds on the London fields because the Atlantic approach is shorter:

 

 

Marrakech is the anchor, not the only answer. The same departure airfield costs this to the other Moroccan airports, with the aircraft shown in the second column:

 

 

Private jet flights within Morocco and to its neighbours

Most Moroccan itineraries are loops: a jet from London to Marrakech or Casablanca, a few days on the ground, a hop to the coast or across the mountains, and home by a different field. The sectors below start at Marrakech, the natural hub, and include the way back into Europe:

 

 

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries.

Business aviation airports in Morocco

Morocco has nine airports that matter to a private traveller, and the useful question is which one fits the programme, not which one is biggest:

 

Marrakech Menara does most of the work, and does it well. The private terminal, opened for general aviation, is shared by Jetex, which lists catering, concierge, crew accommodation and both a crew and an executive lounge, and by Swissport, whose executive aviation desk handles the same traffic. The airport is helicopter-friendly, and the drive to the medina takes around a quarter of an hour. Parking is first come, first served, so a stay of several days is arranged with the handler before the aircraft leaves Britain.

Casablanca Mohammed V is the right field when the meetings are in the commercial capital or in Rabat. Both runways are 3,720 metres, the airport is open round the clock, and the Jetex FBO, refurbished and with a lounge for passengers and crew, offers customs and immigration on the spot. Traffic is steady all day, so a slot is not a formality.

Rabat-Sale and Tangier are the two to remember for specific jobs. Rabat is the airport for the ministries, the embassies and the late June music festival, without the constant traffic of Casablanca. Tangier is the nearest Moroccan field to Britain, and the only sensible one for the Strait, the northern coast and a day that ends back in southern Spain.

Five points settle most Moroccan arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Morocco is outside the European Union and the Schengen area, but British visitors do not need a visa for a tourist stay. These are the points that decide whether the passengers pass through in minutes or are held at the desk:

Coming home is a flight into Britain. A General Aviation Report goes to the border authorities not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure, British and Irish citizens need no electronic travel authorisation, and most other nationalities do.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Morocco

The map shortens Morocco and the roads lengthen it. What matters is how long the car takes from the apron to the address:

 

Casablanca, the imperial cities and the Atlantic: what our clients go for

Business comes first in Casablanca. It is Morocco's economic centre, the home of the country's biggest port and its stock exchange, and the head offices of the large banks and companies. A delegation that lands there expects to be in a meeting the same afternoon, and often drives on to Rabat for the ministries the following morning.

Culture is the second reason, and the old cities are the obvious one. Marrakech is the best known, with its medina and the Jemaa el-Fna square. Fez has a world heritage medina, one of the largest car-free urban areas anywhere, built around a university whose roots go back to the ninth century. A guide with an official badge matters in both, because the British government warns of bogus guides and of pickpockets in the medinas.

The Atlantic is the third. Agadir, rebuilt to the south of the old town after the earthquake that destroyed the kasbah, has a beach of about ten kilometres, and professional golf events have been played at the Golf du Palais Royal. Taghazout and the surf spots reach north towards Cap Ghir. Essaouira offers a walled old town and a steady wind, and the Gnaoua festival in June fills it.

Tangier is the odd one out, a port city looking at Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar, with Cape Spartel and the legendary Caves of Hercules at the western end.

 

The Moroccan year: a mild winter, a hot interior and a cooler coast

Morocco has no single climate. The Atlantic coast is mild all year, the interior swings from cool winters to very hot summers, and the High Atlas is cold enough for snow:

 

The Moroccan calendar: festivals, the winter peak and Ramadan

The events that move private traffic are a few, and the Ramadan dates shift through the year, so they are checked before a trip is planned around them:

 

 

Flying to Morocco with a dog or a cat

The cabin is not the problem: the animal sits beside you for the three hours and nothing goes into the hold. The paperwork is the problem. Morocco is not a country that Britain treats as listed, so an animal coming home needs a rabies blood test planned months before the flight.

• A microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination, as the return to Britain requires;
• A rabies vaccination at least 21 days before the return to Britain, and inside the Moroccan window for the outward trip;
• The Moroccan health certificate, endorsed shortly before departure, with the vaccination record attached;
• For the return, a rabies blood test, because Morocco is not listed, and a Great Britain pet health certificate; GOV.UK counts three months from the date of the blood sample before an animal from a non-listed country may travel to Britain;
• For dogs only, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival in Britain. A cat needs no treatment.

An approved travel route for the return is the last item. GOV.UK tells owners to check it, and its guidance does not say how the rule applies to a private aircraft, so we confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight. An animal that does not meet the rules can be placed in quarantine for up to four months at the owner's expense.

A dog's tapeworm window for the flight home is 24 to 120 hours, so the treatment is booked with a vet in Morocco near the end of the stay. Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Morocco produces them because so many trips are one-way by nature: a family flies out for a winter fortnight, a team flies in for a conference, and the aircraft comes home or moves on.

A client who can offer a few days has a far better chance of a match, though the operator owns the date and a leg can disappear when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. Typical Moroccan empty legs:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Morocco a helicopter is not an airport shuttle but a tool for the last stretch: the road to the ski slopes, a riad or villa without a runway nearby, a coast that is long by car. What decides every rotary job is the permission for the landing site, not the machine. The times below are straight-line estimates:

The operator confirms the route for your date. Typical machines are the Airbus H125 and H130 for sightseeing and short transfers, and the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin-engine helicopter is wanted. We book the helicopter alongside the jet, so the whole itinerary is quoted as one.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Morocco

Farnborough, Biggin Hill, Luton and Stansted send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Southampton, Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester behind them and Scotland and Northern Ireland at the long end; the price table higher up covers thirteen of those pairings. Our clients have access to all airports of the UK and Europe. Due to the unique partnership conditions, we can offer our clients the best prices for business aviation services.
