It will be the only airline to directly connect the U.S. and Marrakesh with new three times weekly service from Newark/New York, launching October 24 on a Boeing 767-300ER.

Combined with United's recently announced service from Washington Dulles to Dakar, Senegal launching in May 2025, United will serve more destinations in Africa than any other U.S. carrier. 

The new service complements expanded weekly flights from Washington D.C. to Accra, Ghana beginning in October and Lagos, Nigeria beginning in December.
