Casablanca to Hong Kong
14h 24mgate to gate
The flight from Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) covers 11,258 km (6,995 miles) and takes approximately 14h 24m gate to gate for a typical jet.
The route heads north-east on an initial great-circle bearing of 54°, passing near 47.1° N, 58.4° E at its midpoint.

How this is worked out
- Take both airports' published coordinates from OurAirports — nothing here is scraped from another flight site.
- Great-circle distance by haversine on a mean earth radius of 6,371.0088 km: 11,258 km.
- Airborne time = that distance ÷ 805 km/h, a representative jet cruise speed: 13h 59m.
- Add a flat 25 minutes for pushback, taxi, climb, descent and taxi-in — the reason a 400 km hop is never half an hour: 14h 24m gate to gate.
- Winds, aircraft type and airline schedule padding are not modelled. The cruise-speed table shows how much that assumption is worth.
11,258 km / 805 km/h = 13h 59m airborne
+ 25 min ground = 14h 24m gate to gate

The same route, plotted on a world grid
The strip above gives the route its length and its shape. This gives it a position: latitude and longitude only, no coastlines, because a hand-drawn coastline would be decoration pretending to be data. On a flat grid the shortest path looks bent; on a globe it is straight.
Flight time at different cruise speeds
Aircraft type, winds and routing all move the real number. This is the same distance flown at different speeds, plus the 25-minute ground and climb allowance.
| Typical of | Cruise speed | Airborne | Gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turboprop / regional | 550 km/h | 20h 28m | 20h 53m |
| Narrowbody jet (A320, 737) | 780 km/h | 14h 26m | 14h 51m |
| Widebody jet (777, 787, A350) | 900 km/h | 12h 31m | 12h 56m |
| Private jet (Gulfstream) | 850 km/h | 13h 15m | 13h 40m |
Headwinds on an eastbound long-haul routinely add 30–60 minutes; the same route westbound can be quicker. Airlines publish schedules with padding built in.

Questions this plate answers
How long is the flight from Casablanca to Hong Kong?
A non-stop flight from Casablanca (CMN) to Hong Kong (HKG) takes about 14h 24m. The great-circle distance is 11,258 km (6,995 miles, 6,079 nautical miles), flying north-east on an initial bearing of 54°.
How far is Casablanca from Hong Kong?
11,258 kilometres in a straight line over the earth's surface — 6,995 miles or 6,079 nautical miles. Actual flown distance is usually 2–5% longer because aircraft follow airways, avoid weather and route around restricted airspace.
Is there a non-stop flight between CMN and HKG?
This page calculates the direct-line time and distance; it does not track airline schedules. At 11,258 km the route is within reach of long-range widebodies, though not every city pair is served non-stop. Check an airline or booking site for what is actually scheduled.
What should I expect on a 14h 24m flight?
Anything past six hours is a long-haul flight: expect at least one meal service, a significant time-zone shift, and enough sitting that circulation and hydration start to matter. Cabin altitude, dry air and disrupted sleep do more damage to a training routine than the flight itself.
