Private Jet Casablanca to Addis Ababa

The route from Casablanca to Addis Ababa covers approximately 2,824 nautical miles, carrying travellers from the Atlantic coast of Morocco to the highlands of Ethiopia in around six and a half hours. The distance rewards a heavy or ultra-long-range jet, and aircraft such as the Gulfstream G550 or the Bombardier Challenger 650 are well suited to the leg, offering the range to make the crossing non-stop with reserves to spare and cabins built for long-sector comfort. Cruising in the low forties of thousands of feet, these jets carry passengers across the Sahara and the breadth of the African continent, arriving where the Ethiopian capital sits high on its plateau. Departures are handled at Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport, whose private facilities allow a smooth start to the journey, with international handling arranged in advance. Arrivals are made at Bole Addis Ababa International Airport, the principal gateway to Ethiopia, set at an elevation of well over two thousand metres in one of the highest capital cities in the world. Addis Ababa is home to the headquarters of the African Union, a lively cultural and diplomatic centre whose museums, markets and the wooded heights of Entoto above the city draw travellers from across the continent and beyond. This route suits diplomats, business travellers and those with interests spanning North and East Africa, as well as travellers drawn to Ethiopia’s ancient culture and dramatic highlands. The generous cabin of a heavy jet is particularly welcome over so long a sector, allowing a party to arrive on the plateau rested and composed, ready for the demands of commerce, diplomacy or exploration in the days ahead.
