Royal Air Maroc expands its horizons for summer 2025
Royal Air Maroc (RAM) is rolling out a new and improved flight schedule for summer 2025 to serve both domestic and international passengers, including African diasporas, according to a press release issued by the Moroccan airline.
Above all, it aims to facilitate Operation Marhaba 2025 for all Moroccans living abroad due to high demand.
The president and CEO of Royal Air Maroc explained: ‘All Royal Air Maroc teams are mobilised to make this summer season a success, especially for our fellow citizens living abroad, by guaranteeing them the best customer experience.’
The airline has increased its capacity by adding more than 700,000 seats compared to 2024, bringing the total number of seats available to more than 6.6 million. In addition, it offers a total of 95 international destinations after adding four new destinations: Sao Paulo, Beijing, Toronto and Catania.
RAM has also established two new routes in London that fly directly to Stansted and Manchester airports, in addition to the existing routes to Heathrow and Gatwick. Furthermore, it has opened a connection between the cities of Rabat and Dakhla within Morocco.
This is part of a strategy that aims to improve Morocco's connection with various key markets, as well as providing assistance.
Similarly, flight frequencies are not being left behind. Two more flights have been added to Nouakchott, bringing the route to nine weekly flights. Meanwhile, flights to Dakar have been increased to 14 weekly connections thanks to the addition of two flights per day.
The plan also includes new slots at the Casablanca hub, establishing night-time departures to Europe (Brussels, Paris Orly, Paris CDG, Milan, Bologna and London Stansted). Another daytime slot has been reserved for flights on the African continent to Dakar, Abidjan, Bamako, Lagos and Conakry.
‘These efforts reflect our desire to offer increasingly smooth and pleasant travel, while expanding our network,’ said Hamid Addou, CEO of Royal Air Maroc.
From Casablanca, it has also established direct flights to Malaga, Valencia, Lisbon and Porto using aircraft that offer greater comfort and speed: the Boeing 737 and the Embraer 190. The other new feature of the Moroccan company's plan is the improvement of its fleet and the purchase of new aircraft.
It now has one long-haul aircraft in Casablanca, three medium-haul aircraft in Tangier, Nador and Oujda, and has acquired two long-haul Boeing Dreamliner 787-900s and six medium-haul Boeing 737-8 MAXs. Thanks to the eight latest additions, RAM has been able to lease fewer aircraft than in previous years.
The airline is consolidating its leading position in Africa, ‘with an expanded offering, a modernised fleet and operational innovations, we are reaffirming our commitment to our passengers and consolidating Morocco's position as a strategic air hub,’ explained Hamid Addou.
These advances are imminent, as detailed in Morocco's presentation of its progress in aviation at the 2025 Paris Air Show. A representative of Royal Air Maroc accompanied the Moroccan Minister of Industry and Trade, Ryad Mezzour, the Minister of Transport and Logistics, Abdessamad Kayouh, and other leaders to reaffirm the country's position in the aviation sector.
According to RAM, the measures reflect the airline's commitment to quality service and the Moroccan tourism sector.
