You land right at the dropzone
By car
From Casablanca, the motorway runs via Berrechid and Khouribga: about 2 hours. From Marrakech, allow about 2.5 hours heading north-east. Enter "Beni Mellal Airport" in your sat nav, or open the route in one click with our Google Maps and Waze links.
Flying into Beni Mellal (BEM)
The dropzone is at Beni Mellal Airport: if your flight lands at BEM, you've arrived! Routes change from one season to the next, so check this winter's flights with ONDA or your airline. Otherwise, Casablanca (CMN) and Marrakech (RAK) are 2 hours and 2.5 hours' drive away.
By coach and taxi
Without a car, the coach is the ideal option, as Beni Mellal has no passenger railway station. CTM and Supratours serve Beni Mellal bus station from Casablanca and Marrakech, then a taxi drops you at the airport. Book your return in advance, especially on Sunday evenings.
Arriving at the airfield
Follow the signs for Beni Mellal Airport and keep photo ID on you: you are entering an airport. Looking for the club's welcome area? Call us or message us on WhatsApp and we'll guide you to the caidal tent by the runway.
The jump itself takes less than half an hour: a 15 to 20 minute climb, around 50 seconds of freefall, then 5 to 7 minutes under canopy. Add check-in, the briefing and kitting up, and give yourself plenty of margin: the order of loads depends on the weather and air traffic. Keep the day free to savour every moment.
Friends and family are welcome
They cheer you in as you land, have lunch with you under the caidal tent and go home with the footage if you add the video and photos option (€100). And if they fancy a jump of their own, think of a gift voucher!
Show your booking and your medical certificate. No certificate? The club doctor sees you on site (200 MAD).

When is the club open?
PACMA jumps under the winter sun, from the first weekend of December to the first weekend of April. For the 2026-2027 season, that's 5 December 2026 to 4 April 2027, every day, 8:30 am to 6 pm. The club is closed the rest of the year; online booking is open until 4 April 2027.
Every day, weekends included
The club welcomes you every day of the season: come on a Tuesday or a Sunday, the Pilatus takes off whenever the weather allows.
Weather: the chief instructor decides
Wind, low cloud or rain: the decision to jump rests with the chief instructor, who always puts safety first. If your jump can't go ahead, it is moved free of charge to another date in the season, or turned into a credit.
Gift vouchers valid for the season
A voucher bought today is valid until 4 April 2027, the date printed on the voucher.
The winter sun
Winter days in Beni Mellal are usually sunny and mild, with cool mornings, so bring a jacket. If wind or low cloud delays the loads, we'll let you know as early as possible and your jump is rescheduled free of charge.
In Beni Mellal itself: it's the most practical choice for reaching the airport as soon as the club opens at 8:30 am, with a wide range of places to stay and eat. Choose the hills around Ain Asserdoun for peace and quiet and views over the Tadla plain, or Bin El Ouidane lake for a night in nature, a little further from the dropzone.
In town
The most practical if you jump early: close to the airport, restaurants and the bus station.
Up by Ain Asserdoun
For peace and quiet, the spring and its gardens, and superb sunset views over the whole plain.
By Bin El Ouidane lake
For a night in nature in Azilal province, easy to combine with the Ouzoud waterfalls. Further from the dropzone: leave early on jump day.
Not sure where to book? Ask us for advice when you reserve your jump: the club works with hotels in the region.

How do I get from Casablanca to Beni Mellal?
By car, allow about 2 hours on the motorway via Berrechid and Khouribga, from the city or from Mohammed V Airport. Without a car, CTM and Supratours coaches link Casablanca with Beni Mellal bus station; a taxi then drops you at the airport, where the dropzone is.

Are there flights to Beni Mellal Airport?
The routes serving Beni Mellal Airport (BEM) change from one season to the next, so check this winter's flights with ONDA or your airline. If your flight lands at BEM, you're already at the dropzone! Otherwise, aim for Casablanca (CMN, 2 hours' drive) or Marrakech (RAK, 2.5 hours).

How long does a skydive take on the day?
Give yourself plenty of margin. The jump itself takes less than half an hour (a 15 to 20 minute climb, around 50 seconds of freefall, 5 to 7 minutes under canopy), but check-in, the briefing and the order of loads, which depends on the weather and traffic, take time. Keep the day free to savour every moment.
Can friends and family watch my skydive?
Yes, and they'll love it! Companions watch you land by the runway and can have lunch with you under the caidal tent (70 MAD per meal). To keep the memory, add the video and photos option to your tandem (€100).
How much does a skydive cost for Morocco residents?
With proof of residence, a tandem costs 2,500 MAD (compared with €250 for non-residents), the AFF first jump 6,000 MAD and the AFF course 14,200 MAD. For groups of 10 or more booked 6 days in advance, the tandem drops to 2,100 MAD per person. Payment is in dirhams.
Do I need a medical certificate to skydive?
Yes, a medical certificate confirming you are fit to jump is required for a tandem. No certificate? The club doctor examines you on site (200 MAD). For AFF and the AFF course, you need an FFP-approved medical less than three months old. On a tandem, the maximum weight is 90 kg, fully dressed.
What happens if it's windy or cloudy?
You lose nothing. The decision to jump rests with the chief instructor, under FFP rules. If wind, low cloud or rain stop your jump, it is moved free of charge to another date in the season, or turned into a credit. We'll let you know as soon as possible.
