Shanghai Airlines Expands Flight Services to Marseille and Casablanca
In an exciting development for travelers and aviation enthusiasts alike, Shanghai Airlines is set to bolster its flight offerings between Shanghai and key destinations in Europe and Africa. Starting mid-June 2026, the airline will introduce a fourth weekly flight on the Shanghai Pu Dong to Marseille and Casablanca route. This strategic enhancement will officially commence on June 17, 2026, when bookings for the additional service become available to the public.
The new flight, operated by the modern Boeing 787-9, adds to the existing schedule, which has been well-received by passengers. The operational details reveal that flight FM871 will depart from Shanghai at 1:50 AM, arriving in Marseille at 8:20 AM. After a brief stopover, it will then continue to Casablanca, landing at 12:20 PM. The return flight, FM872, will leave Casablanca at 5:10 PM and reach Marseille by 8:45 PM, ultimately returning to Shanghai by 3:50 PM the following day. This enhanced service is expected to cater to the rising demand for travel between these vibrant cities, providing a convenient option for both business and leisure travelers.
Shanghai Airlines' decision to expand its route network reflects the growing interest in international travel and the need for efficient connections between Asia, Europe, and Africa. As the airline continues to enhance its services, travelers can look forward to more options and better connectivity, making it easier than ever to explore diverse cultures and destinations.
