A Moroccan network opening toward Europe and North Africa

In the early 1950s, Compagnie Chérifienne de Transports Aériens operated a network centered on Morocco, with extensions toward Algeria, Tunisia, Spain and France.

The plan alternates short Moroccan domestic sectors and longer international links. A DC-3, DC-4, SO.30 Bretagne or Curtiss Commando can each give the route a different period feel.

Flying style

  • Begin with the Moroccan domestic routes to settle into the rhythm: short distances, visible terrain and quick transitions.
  • The Valencia, Bordeaux, Toulouse, Paris, Marseille, Milan and Geneva legs then give the network an international dimension.
  • The final line crosses Morocco to Oujda, continues through Algeria and ends at Perpignan.
