Morocco's flag carrier, Royal Air Maroc, is embarking on a major expansion of its international flight network as it prepares for a pivotal World Cup year. The airline is advancing its long-term plan to position Casablanca as a global aviation hub connecting Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
From 2026, the airline has announced it will launch a new wave of direct routes across three continents, marking one of the most ambitious growth phases in its history. The expansion comes as global tourism demand continues to recover and as Morocco steps into the international spotlight ahead of major sporting events, including the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which the Kingdom will co-host with Spain and Portugal.
Royal Air Maroc Chief Executive Officer Hamid Addou said the upcoming route launches represent a defining moment in the airline's development. Since 2023, the carrier has taken delivery of around ten additional aircraft, strengthened frequencies on several strategic destinations, and opened nearly twenty international routes.
