FlightHub’s annual Unveiled report recorded a 249.7% increase in Casablanca bookings between October 2025 and August 2026 compared with the same period a year earlier. The travel platform identified the increase as largely route-driven, with new services linking Casablanca with Montreal and Toronto.
The jump also produced the biggest change in destination ranking in the report. Casablanca moved from 138th to 39th, gaining 99 places year over year. FlightHub attributed the shift to the additional flight capacity rather than describing it as purely organic growth in demand.

FlightHub’s data specifically highlights two new routes behind Casablanca’s rise: Montreal–Casablanca (YUL–CMN) and Toronto–Casablanca (YYZ–CMN).
Because the routes had no equivalent service in the previous year’s comparison period, FlightHub said it was not possible to calculate a meaningful year-over-year growth rate for the routes themselves. The company nevertheless described new route launches as “almost entirely a Casablanca story” in its 2026 data.
The report also places Casablanca among the long-haul destinations attracting Canadian travelers. The median airfare recorded for Casablanca was C$997 per passenger, with trips averaging 15 nights. For U.S. travelers, the corresponding figures were $938 and 13 nights.

The destination has an even stronger presence among travelers from Québec.
FlightHub found that Québec travelers were about 30 times more likely to book Casablanca than travelers from the rest of Canada over the full year. During Québec’s Construction Holidays, that gap widened to roughly 57 times. Marrakech, Algiers and Tunis also recorded much higher booking affinity among Québec travelers.
Québec travelers also tend to stay longer than the rest of Canada’s travelers, averaging 11 nights compared with seven. Their domestic travel share is also 57.6% lower than that of the rest of Canada, according to FlightHub.
Montreal accounts for much of Québec’s international travel, with Casablanca and Fort Lauderdale among its leading destinations. Québec City, by comparison, follows a more typical regional pattern, with Toronto as its top destination.

The 2026 edition of FlightHub’s Unveiled report examines booking, search and airfare data from its Canadian and U.S. customers between October 2025 and August 2026, comparing the figures with the previous year. Popularity rankings are based on searches, while other destination and travel-behavior trends are based on completed bookings.
The report also looks at changing travel habits by generation and traveler type, the impact of the 2026 World Cup and other major events, booking windows, airfare trends and the destinations gaining or losing momentum.
