Casablanca-Anfa Airport. It joined the Oneworld
alliance in 2020.

From its base at

charter flights that include Hajj services.[8] As of November 2023, the airline serves 45 countries and 134 routes.[2]

History

Formation

A Royal Air Maroc Caravelle at Düsseldorf Airport in 1973. The carrier ordered its first two aircraft of the type in 1958.[9]: 101

in 1996.

Royal Air Maroc—Compagnie Nationale de Transports Aériens was formed in July 1953 as a result of the merger of Compagnie Chérifienne de'l Air (Air Atlas) — set up in 1946 with Junkers Ju 52s — and Compagnie Chérifienne de Transports Aériens Air Maroc, that was founded in 1947 and commenced scheduled operations in 1949.[10]

The fleet of the newly formed airline included six

Languedocs.[11] These aircraft worked on routes previously served by the predecessor companies, and added the cities of Frankfurt, Geneva and Paris.[12]

Early years

The name Royal Air Maroc (RAM) was adopted on 28 June 1957,

government of Morocco having a 67.73% stake.[13] Hajj flights commenced in 1957.[12]

The

carrier's fleet comprised 16 aircraft by April 1958, including four DC-4s, three DC-3s, seven Bretagnes and two C-46s.[14] In May 1958, the airline ordered two Caravelles.[9]: 101  In July, a number of long-haul routes were launched using four Lockheed L-749 Constellations leased from Air France, and the coastal Oran–Oujda run — which had been suspended in May — was reopened. Also in 1958, the carrier started flying to Gibraltar. The arrival of the Constellations enabled the airline to withdraw the DC-4s from service.[12]

A single Caravelle was part of the fleet of four L-749 Constellations, four DC-4s and three DC-3s by April 1960, making the Caravelle the first jet aircraft operated by the company; another Caravelle was yet to be delivered.[10] The type began serving the Rabat–Bamako route in July 1961. By 1964, there were three Caravelles in the fleet.[12] A fourth was ordered in late 1964.[15]

At April 1965, the company had 758 employees and chairmanship was held by Mohammed Al Fassi. The route network included services within

Compagnie Generale Transatlantique (7.6%), Aviacion y Comercio (5%) and others (2.4%).[16] An order for a fifth Caravelle was placed in early 1968.[17] By 1969, all routes to Europe and North Africa were flown using solely these aircraft.[18]

1970s

In 1969, the carrier placed its first order with

Boeing 727-200, in 1970,[20] with the carrier deploying it on revenue service on 15 May.[12]

Subsidiary airline Royal Air Inter was formed early in 1970 to undertake domestic routes using

Boeing 747-200B entered the fleet in September 1978.[28]

1980s

By July 1980, Royal Air Maroc had 3,583 employees. At this time, the carrier's fleet consisted of a single

Boeing 737-200Cs were ordered for US$33 million; deliveries were arranged for March and June 1983.[33] Late that year, the airline joined the International Air Transport Association.[34]

In July 1986, RAM was the first African airline to put the Boeing 757 in service.[35] The first of these aircraft that was delivered to the company set a record for the type when it flew the distance separating Seattle from Casablanca, 4,910 nautical miles (9,090 km; 5,650 mi), non-stop.[36]

1990s

In the early days of the decade, the last of the Boeing 707s was removed from the fleet. Meanwhile, newer, more efficient, Classic 400 and 500 Series Boeing 737s were introduced to increase the frequency of European routes. By the middle of the decade all 727s had disappeared. To consolidate its North American operations, Royal Air Maroc purchased a single Boeing 747-400. As the decade progressed, new routes to previously under-served African airports were opened.

2000-present

With the increasing number of passengers and newly opened routes as well as increasing oil prices, there was a need to buy new aircraft. In 2000 an order for 20 Next-Generation Boeing 737 aircraft and 4 Airbus A321s was placed. Meanwhile, more routes to the west and central African cities were opened. RAM was now changing, from providing flights to meet the demands of foreign tourists and Moroccan expatriates, to providing connections between European cities and African cities via the Casablanca hub. In 2002, the company leased two 767s to replace the single 747 in North American routes.

Morocco and the EU signed an

open skies agreement in late 2006. This means that Royal Air Maroc will have to face tough competition from low-cost carriers eager to exploit profitable routes between Western Europe
and Morocco. A further challenge arises from the high cost of kerosene and the fact that the company may have to drop some of its unprofitable domestic and international routes.

Royal Air Maroc became Oneworld's 14th member on 1 April 2020.[3][37][1][38]

In June 2023, the airline announced a substantial expansion plan with the goal of doubling the size of its fleet over the next decade and adding international connections with new routes to Europe. This plan was revealed by the RAM's chief executive officer (CEO), Abdelhamid Addou.[39] In October, the airline announced plans to purchase 200 planes within a decade through a tender, aiming to meet the demand driven by the 2030 FIFA World Cup and strengthen its presence in the growing African market.[6]

Recent developments

As of March 2013, Royal Air Maroc (RAM) operated an all-

Boeing 767-300ERs in a deal worth about US$1.4 billion.[114][115] That same year, RAM became a new Airbus customer when it bought four Airbus A321s.[116] In January 2002, the airline took delivery of its first Boeing 767-300ER.[20]

After the carrier's Board of Directors agreed to buy a number of Boeing 787s on 29 July 2005,[117] a memorandum of understanding for the acquisition of these aircraft was signed with Boeing on 31 Jul the same year.[118] The deal, worth US$650 million and including five Dreamliners, was confirmed in early November that year, with initial delivery slated for October 2008.[119] The purchase contract was signed in December 2005, and also included an aircraft of the type on option.[120] Following an over-US$100 million-worth contract that was signed in February 2006, these aircraft will be powered with General Electric GEnx engines.[121] Boeing delivered RAM's first Dreamliner in December 2014.[122][123]

RAM was the launch customer for the

ATR 42-600s.[126]

In September 2018, RAM retired its sole

Boeing 787-9.[82][128][129]

In August 2023, RAM signed a $300 million long-term lease contract with Air Lease Corporation for five Boeing 737 aircraft, including four new Boeing 737 MAX 8s and one Boeing 737-800 which are expected to be delivered in 2024.[103][130]

Future plans

In June 2013, RAM's CEO indicated that the airline was seeking new generation aircraft as a replacement for its ageing fleet, adding that the carrier will need some 20 to 30 new aircraft by 2020, and that the

Embraer E-190s was signed in mid-2014;[7] the carrier took delivery of the first of these aircraft in November the same year.[61][132]


As of 2023, the airline Royal Air Maroc is preparing to launch a call for tenders for new single-aisle and wide-body aircraft, in order to respond to the increase in tourism and strengthen the role of Casablanca as a hub for Sub-Saharan Africa. The CEO of the Moroccan national airline Abdelhamid Addou declared on June 13, 2023 to the Bloomberg agency that RAM is “putting the final touches” to a call for tenders for the purchase of new long and medium-haul aircraft, and plans to raise debt to help finance these acquisitions.[133]

Previously operated

Throughout its history, the carrier operated the following equipment:[111]
