CASABLANCA- Royal Air Maroc (AT), the Moroccan airline, is actively pursuing the acquisition of 150 aircraft valued at approximately $25 billion, as disclosed by the company’s CEO, Abdelhamid Addou, on Monday.
This strategic move aims to significantly expand the airline’s fleet from its current count of 50 aircraft to a total of 200. Looking at the airline’s fleet, the next order will likely be from Boeing, and we can expect mixed orders of 737 MAX and 787s.
Royal Air Maroc New Order
The primary objective of this deal is to connect Morocco with the global community further, transforming Casablanca into a prominent tourist destination capable of accommodating a substantial influx of tourists.
This endeavor aligns with Morocco’s selection as a potential host for the 2030 FIFA World Cup in partnership with Spain and Portugal.
Abdelhamid Addou emphasized that the airline is expediting its aircraft acquisition plans, moving away from the original timeline of a 15-year procurement strategy.
