Origins
Air Atlas and Air Maroc merged in 1953 into the Compagnie Chérifienne de Transport Aérien. The Moroccan state granted that company a concession for domestic and international air transport. On 28 June 1957 it became the national airline under the Royal Air Maroc name. The following year it established a professional training centre with technical workshops, supporting the development of its own aviation workforce.[1]Royal Air Maroc historyRoyal Air Maroc · corpo.royalairmaroc.com · Accessed 2026-09-13Open source details
Casablanca network
Royal Air Maroc’s network combines travel to and from Morocco with connecting journeys through Casablanca. Its African services link Moroccan airports with cities south of the Sahara, while onward flights connect with Europe and other regions. The company identifies tourism, economic exchanges and links with Moroccan communities overseas as important parts of its role.[1]Royal Air Maroc historyRoyal Air Maroc · corpo.royalairmaroc.com · Accessed 2026-09-13Open source details
Dreamliner development
The airline’s first Boeing 787 was delivered on 31 December 2014 and arrived in Morocco at the beginning of January 2015. The aircraft introduced a newer widebody generation intended to improve its long-haul capability. A first stretched 787-9 followed in December 2018, adding a second member of the Dreamliner family to the fleet alongside the original 787-8.[3]Arrival of Royal Air Maroc’s first 787Boeing · boeing.mediaroom.com · Accessed 2026-09-13Open source details[4]First 787-9 delivered to Royal Air MarocBoeing · boeing.mediaroom.com · Accessed 2026-09-13Open source details
