Departing from London Gatwick Airport's runway 26L, the Airbus A321 began its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 159 kt in 1,233 meters, which was 49% of the available runway length. The aircraft then climbed away from the airport, navigating through a local weather scenario characterized by a temperature of 19 °C and winds of 12 kt at 210 °, resulting in a 9 kt crosswind and an 8 kt headwind.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it ascended from 1,238 ft to 34,205 ft in 22 minutes, covering 139 nm. This marked the beginning of a series of level cruises, with the first lasting 95 minutes and covering 731 nm, as the aircraft flew northwest of Saint Peter Port, Guernsey. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing altitude from 36,208 ft to 9,598 ft in 21 minutes, covering 115 nm. Following a brief level cruise near Arcos de la Frontera, Spain, the aircraft continued its descent, eventually touching down on runway 21 at Rabat-Salé Airport, Morocco, after a total flight distance of 1,158 nm.
The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 144 kt, which was above the target value. The touchdown point was 74 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 135 kt was slightly fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -341 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm. The total landing distance was 1,700 meters, which was 49% of the available runway length. The flight utilized 8,189 kg of fuel, and the entire journey took 179 minutes.

The aircraft, an Airbus A321, commenced its final approach to runway 21 at GMME Rabat-Salé Airport from the north east, aligning with the heading of 211.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 144 knots, which may have been a result of the prevailing wind conditions. The wind was blowing at 13 knots from 320°, resulting in a crosswind component of 13 knots and a tailwind component of 4 knots.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it did so at a speed of 135 knots, which was slightly faster than desired. The touchdown rate was firm, at -341 feet per minute, indicating a relatively abrupt deceleration. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The touchdown point was located 74 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may have been a result of the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The aircraft's rollout phase was marked by a slight misalignment from the centreline, deviating by 25.8 meters. The total landing distance was 1,700 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 89.4%. While there were some areas for improvement, such as the touchdown speed and rollout alignment, the aircraft's approach and touchdown characteristics were generally good.
