Royal Air Maroc's Summer 2025 Flight Program Offers 6.6 Million Seats
Rabat – Morocco's national carrier, Royal Air Maroc (RAM), launched its summer 2025 flight program today, featuring a record offer of over 6.6 million seats.
In a statement, RAM stressed that its summer program is aimed at supporting the massive return of Moroccans living abroad during the summer holidays.
'Royal Air Maroc is boosting its service and launching an unprecedented flight schedule,' the company said, noting that the number of seats deployed represents a record-breaking offer.
The number represents a significant increase of 700,0000 seats compared to the 2024 summer flight program, the company added, noting that the airline will serve 95 destinations worldwide.
Royal Air Maroc's goal, added the statement, is to meet the growing needs of a diverse clientele, including Moroccans, African diaspora, and international tourists.
RAM's CEO Hamid Addou described the company's offer as 'exceptional, noting that the system the company put in place for this season is 'fully aligned with the airline's development strategy.'
'With an expanded offer, a modernized fleet, and operational innovations, we are reaffirming our commitment to our passengers and consolidating Morocco's position as a strategic air hub,' Addou said, noting that the efforts reflect the company's desire to offer ever-smoother and more enjoyable travel experiences.'
For Addou, all teams are mobilized to ensure the success of the summer season, particularly for our citizens living abroad.
The company's statement stressed its commitment to reinforce leadership in Africa, with two additional weekly flights to Nouakchott, bringing the total to nine weekly flights.
Flights to Dakar will increase to two per day, or 14 flights per week.
The four direct routes connecting Casablanca to Malaga, Valencia, Lisbon, and Porto will also be operated by medium-haul aircraft, including Boeing 737s and Embraer 190s.
The company also announced that it will charter four aircraft from internationally renowned airlines, noting that those flights are next-generation models selected based on safety and comfort criteria.
'RAM reduced the number of charted aircraft thanks to the addition of eight new planes to its fleet,' the company stated, adding that the number includes Boeing 787-900 Dreamliners for long-haul flights and six Boeing 737-8 Max aircraft for medium-haul routes.
The new summer system comes as Morocco launched earlier this month the Marhaba Operation, an annual campaign the country dedicates to facilitating the transit of Moroccans residing abroad during summer holidays.
The company's pledges come as RAM has been under increasing scrutiny, following a series of troubling incidents, including expensive ticket prices, as well as frequent luggage handling disruption that causes significant delays and disruptions for travelers. Tags: Morocco summer timeRoyal Air Maroc

Boeing Partners with Casablanca Aéronautique to Produce Parts for 737 MAX
Rabat – Boeing has moved to expand its industrial presence in Morocco by signing a new agreement with Casablanca Aéronautique, a subsidiary of France's Figeac Aéro Group. Under the deal, the Moroccan firm will produce machined parts for Boeing's 737 MAX aircraft, adding a new chapter to the aerospace giant's long-standing engagement with the country. 'This partnership speaks to our intent to help shape a solid aerospace ecosystem in Morocco,' said Emily Belgrade, Vice President of Global Supply Chain at Boeing Commercial Airplanes. She also pointed to the company's broader ambition to build lasting, reciprocal ties with local industry. Casablanca Aéronautique employs about 900 people and operates across multiple areas of expertise, from machining and assembly to sheet metal work and surface treatment. Its director general, Maurice Herbelin, welcomed the agreement, calling it a natural step in a growing relationship. He also underlined the company's role in supporting Morocco's industrial ambitions. Jean-Claude Maillard, CEO of Figeac Aéro, saw the deal as a clear expression of the group's strategy to maintain a global industrial footprint while anchoring a strong presence in local markets. He said the Moroccan sites show real promise for growth and value creation. Boeing's involvement in Morocco goes back years. In 2016, the company signed a framework agreement with the Ministry of Industry and the Moroccan Investment and Export Development Agency (AMDIE) to develop local capacity and encourage suppliers to set up operations. That effort has since helped create jobs and draw more players into Morocco's aerospace ecosystem. Moreover, RAM recently moved closer to renewing its fleet through a major deal with Boeing, while also considering a smaller order from Airbus. According to industry insiders quoted by Reuters, the Moroccan carrier is on the verge of securing an agreement to acquire dozens of Boeing jets. At the same time, Airbus aims to supply RAM with around 20 A220 aircraft. Tags: BoeingCasablanca AeronautiqueMoroccoMorocco aeronautics industry

Royal Air Maroc's CEO on competing beyond low-cost carriers and expanding globally
In a recent interview with CNN, the CEO of Morocco's national carrier Royal Air Maroc (RAM) highlighted the airline's strategic shift to differentiate itself from low-cost carriers and Gulf-based competitors. «We have over 40 competitors in our country, so we had to create a new model and a new market», Abdelhamid Addou said, noting that RAM's strength lies in its south-north connections between Africa and Europe. Asked about competing with giants like Ryanair and EasyJet, he said: «First, we are developing a different market, which is the African market, rather than just the point-to-point». «When you put a first step in an airline like ours, you feel the atmosphere of the country, the culture… so you have a different experience», he explained, insisting that RAM offers a «completely different» product compared to low-cost airline companies. Insightful interview of the CEO of @RAM_Maroc on @CNN, outlining the airline's bold ambitions. With growing demand for air connectivity, RAM is expanding across the South–North and South–West axes, especially in the #US and the #Americas offering passengers a unique flying… — Youssef Amrani (@youamrani) June 14, 2025 On the long-haul front, the CEO pointed to growth toward the Americas: «North America, southern America. That's where we can have a real added value, bringing diasporas together… This is our added value. We are in the centre geographically, and we can capitalise on these diasporas to transport them». He also confirmed plans to retrofit the airline's Boeing 737s with flat beds: «That will help us keep the same experience between the long haul and the short haul». Addressing global supply chain delays, he admitted: «When you have 15 to 18 months late deliveries, then you get frustrated, but we are all facing the same issue». He remained optimistic: «We just received three MAXs (Boeing 737 MAX) this week. We should receive seven other MAXs by the end of December… We want to trust our partners». For the record, RAM is reportedly preparing to place its largest aircraft order ever, purchasing around two dozen Boeing 787 Dreamliners for long-haul routes and as many as 50 Boeing 737s for short-haul operations. It is also in talks to acquire about 20 Airbus A220s for regional travel.
